The month of February always calls to mind hearts and flowers.  We see the heart symbol everywhere

we look – on cards, heart-shaped candies and all manner of Valentine merchandise.  The Bible speaks

very eloquently of the heart with many beautiful verses on this subject.  Two good examples of this

are from Proverbs:

 

·         The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the Lord trieth the hearts.  (Proverbs 17:3)

·         A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.  (Proverbs 17:22)

 

Flowers are also prominent in Biblical narrative, as illustrated in the following verses:

 

·         I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.  (Song of Solomon 2:1)

·         And why take ye thought for raemint?  Consider the lilies of the field and how they grow; they

toil not, neither do they spin.  (Matthew 6:28)
