Pershore Times - 09 February 2025

February 14th arrives this week with a flurry of Valentine’s cards,messages and red roses. Whatever the truth about the martyr St Valentine this text from the Bible precedes it:
“I am my Beloved’s and my Beloved is mine” (Song of Solomon 6:3)
How wonderful to celebrate romance and fidelity between two people in love!
But even more wonderful that this verse also relates to our relationship with God.
When we give ourselves over to God, we are His prized possession.
Reciprocally God is ‘ours’: everything He is, everything He represents, everything He does is ours to claim.
That’s certainly worth celebrating on February 14th or any day!
