5 Prayers to Make Jesus the Center of Our Hearts This Valentine's Day

　　Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching and it is a time that we normally focus on the loved ones in our lives. Specifically, we tend to focus on our spouse, partner, or significant other. While there is nothing wrong with celebrating Valentine’s Day and spending time with our loved ones, it is important that we do not overlook Jesus. Jesus is our first love and the One whom our hearts should always yearn after.

　　The love we have for Jesus should be greater than the love we have for anyone or anything else. In other words, we should love Jesus more than our spouse, partner, or significant other.

　　In fact, Jesus tells us the greatest commandment is to love Him, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.

With this in mind, we need to ensure Jesus is at the center of our hearts.
