Three Things To Do As A Single On Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is in just a few days, and it’s no denying that sometimes as a single woman, or man, you may start to feel just how single you are, but I want to encourage someone to shift your focus concerning Valentine’s Day. 

I’ve talked about this before, shifting one’s focus from romantic love and instead focusing on loving others and loving God/meditating on how much God loves us, and even just taking time for yourself! 

Here’s three things to do this Valentine’s Day:

1) Time with Jesus

Instead of spending time with people, take the evening after work or school to spend good ole quality time with Jesus! Bask in His presence, read and meditate on His Word, look over notes from church, pray for others, and just delight in His presence. God is so good, and He IS Love! 

God’s Love is so amazing, and He is SO worthy! And spending time in His presence is THE best thing ever! 

2) Love on others

Take the time to love on others. 

Pour into others, whether by inviting a few people to spend some quality time, give a meaningful gift that says you were thinking about them, write cards, or even call or text! 

Valentine’s Day should not be the only time that we reach out and love on others, of course, but there may be specific people that God lays on your heart who might have a difficult time on Valentine’s Day, perhaps, and you taking the extra mile to send a card or to visit with them could be just what they need. Never know what God might want to do, so be sensitive to His Spirit and open if He wants you to pour into someone and love on them.

 

3) Self Care Time

Maybe it’s been a long time since you’ve taken care of yourself and had some time to stop, slow down and relax. Maybe this Valentine’s Day you book an airbnb or hotel for a night and just take some time to take care of you. It really is important!

Rest, read a book, watch a movie, take yourself to dinner, if you have some time during the day go take a walk in a park or your neighborhood, journal, and let yourself relax! 

I hope you know how loved you are and how special and important you are, on Valentine’s Day and every day! 

In Christ’s Love,
