Courage | Valentine's Day
by: Linda FurtadoPublished on: 2026/02/14Deuteronomy 31:6 holds a steady word for shaky seasons: Be strong and bold—God goes with you and will not fail or forsake you. In this reflection, I sit with Moses’ final words to Israel, the weight of covenant choices, and the honest reality of how easily we forget what matters most. Then the story turns—toward Christ, who doesn’t abandon us in our weakness but meets us with grace upon grace, lifting us again and again. On a day when love is often measured by who gets chosen, this is a reminder that we are already held by a never-ending love—and invited to live boldly, serve faithfully, and extend courage to those who feel unseen.
