Valentine Dove Verses

For thousands of years the dove has been looked upon as a symbol of peace, innocence, gentleness and affection. In the Song of Solomon love story, a man and a woman speak of each other as a dove or having the features of a dove six times.*

Peace, innocence, gentleness and affection. All of these things are the qualities of love. The scriptures tell us in 1 John 4:8, "He who does not love does not know God, for God is love." When we accept God and His Son Jesus into our hearts, we love peacefully, innocently, gently and with great affection.
