The Greatest Love of All {Valentine's Day Bible Journaling}

What is love?

When I hear this question, I can not help but think about one of my favorite Bible verses, defining just what love is:

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.- 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

This is perhaps one of the most popular Bible verses out there, and with good reason. It truly is a wonderful definition of what love is...and of what God is too. But it's not the only great verse about love...there are MANY!

With Valentine's Day quickly approaching, I have enjoyed having the chance to do a little Bible journaling that is perfect for the season. Want some Valentine's Day journaling inspiration? Here are a few verses to get you started, and a look at some of my own pages too!

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.

1 Corinthians 16:14

Let all that you do be done in love.
