❤️A Grounding & Healing Valentine’s Day Word

Today is not a test.
It is not a measure of your worth, your desirability, or your belonging.
It is simply a day, and you get to decide how your heart sits inside it.

If this day feels tender, heavy, or complicated, breathe. You are not
behind. You are not forgotten. You are not unloved.

Some of us are healing from what we thought love was. Some of us are
releasing what love should never have been.
Some of us are learning how to receive love without shrinking, performing,
or overgiving. And some of us are simply resting in the truth that God’s
love is not seasonal, performative, or dependent on another person’s choices.

Let today be gentle.
Let it be honest.
Let it be grounding

You are allowed to honor the ache without collapsing into it.
You are allowed to celebrate love without pretending.
You are allowed to hold space for the love you desire while
still being grateful for the love you already have.

And if you feel alone, hear this clearly.

You are held.
You are seen.
You are deeply loved- not because someone chose you
Today, but because God has chosen you every day.

Let your heart rest in that truth.
Let your spirit breathe in that safety.
Let your body settle into that warmth.

Happy Valentine’s Day. the most grounded,
Healed and honest way.

With Grace,
Debra

THE SANCTUARY LETTER

A Grounding & Healing Valentine’s Day Reflection

Beloved,

Today, carries a weight for many hearts,
Some feel joy.
Some feel longing.
Some feel nothing at all.
And some feel the quiet ache of what
was, what wasn’t, or what they hoped would be.

Whatever your heart sits today, let this Sanctuary
hold you.

Valentine’s Day has a way of stirring old memories, unhealed
places, and silent questions.
It can magnify what you desire, expose what you’ve outgrown,
or remind you of what you survived.
But hear this clearly.

This day is not a verdict.
It is not a mirror of your worth.
It is not a measure of how loved you are.

Love is not proven by flowers, gifts, or gestures.
Love is proven by truth, safety,
consistency, and alignment.
And God’s love-the love that holds you steady
It is not seasonal, performative, or dependent
on another person’s choices.

Today, I want you to breathe.
Slowly.
Gently.
Honesty.

Let your heart tell the truth without shame.
Let your spirit settle without pressure.
Let your body release the tension of pretending
to be okay when you’re simply human.

Some of you are healing from love
that wounded you.
Some are releasing love that was never yours
to carry.
Some are learning how to receive love without
shrinking or over-giving. And some are resting
in the truth that God’s love is the safest place
you will ever know.

If today feels tender, you are not weak.
If today feels peaceful, you are not detached.
If today feels complicated, you are not alone.

You are simply human, and God meets you in the
exact place where your humanity shows.

So let this be your grounding:

You are loved in ways you have
not yet experienced.
You are held in places no one else can see.
You are chosen in ways that do not depend on
calendar.

Let today be gentile.

Debra
