Valentine's Day is mighty repulsive. The love of which you speak is the Devil's lust. I can assure you I'd take no part in the frivolities. I shall spend it righteous, and placid, by the window, and the shades drawn. I don't wish to catch glance of these young people doing disgusting things with their disgusting parts, it just disgusts me. I shall catch my gaze only toward my Bible, and read my favourite, The Song of Solomon instead. I especially like:




Song of Solomon 3 By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
2 I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
3 The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
4 It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.
5 I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
6 Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?
7 Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel.
8 They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night.
9 King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon.
10 He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof of gold, the covering of it of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem.
11 Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart.

A succinct message. But worse than the carryings-on of wantons is the idea that the lovely text you posted refers to something other than the Love of Christ for His church.

Revelation 19:7-9 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

cf Song of Solomon 3:5-6 I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up nor awake my love till he please. Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?

Satan has very different ideas from God. What he's aiming for is a fusion of Valentine's with Halloween on a permanent basis with powders of the merchant expanded into an even more abominable range than currently available. Jesus decides when His bride is ready: it's the same time as when Jesus is ready: without Him heathens or pagans or whatever they're calling themselves today have no moral compass and no future.

That is what Valentine's celebrates and the consequences are more repulsive even than what takes place outside your window. HELL. FOREVER.
