love languages


How do you feel loved?

 

Five Love Languages Gary Chapman

 

Words of Affirmation: Actions don’t always speak louder than words. If this is your love language, unsolicited compliments mean the world to you. Hearing the words, “I love you,” are important-hearing the reason behind that love sends your spirits skyward. Insults can leave you shattered and are not easily forgotten.

 

Quality Time: In the vernacular of Quality Time, nothing says, “I love you” like full, undivided attention. Being there for this type of person is critical, but really being there-with the TV off, fork and knife down, and all chores and tasks on standby-makes you feel truly special and loved. Distractions, postponed dates, or the failure to listen can be especially hurtful.

 

Gifts:  Don’t mistake this love language for materialism; the receiver of gifts thrives on the love, thoughtfulness, and effort behind the gift. If you speak this language, the perfect gift or gesture shows that you are known, you are cared for and you are prized above whatever was sacrificed to bring the gift to you. A missed birthday, anniversary or a hasty, thoughtless gift would be disastrous-so would the absence of everyday gestures.

 

Act of Service: Can vacuuming the floors really be an expression of love? Absolutely! Anything you do to ease the burden of responsibilities weighing on an “ Acts of Service” person will speak volumes. The words you most want to hear: “let me do that for you.” Laziness, broken commitments, and making more work for them tell speakers of this language their feelings don’t matter.

 

Physical Touch: A person whose primary language is Physical Touch is, not surprisingly,very touchy. Hugs, pats on the back, holding hands, and thoughtful touches on the arm, shoulderor face- they can all be ways to show excitement, concern, care and love. Physical presence and accessibility are crucial, while neglect or abuse can be unforgivable and destructive.

In God's Time

Pray for God's blessing on myself and others - pray that I may allow him to pursue in his own time and his own Way. Deuteronomy 6:4-7 - 4 Hear, O Israel: The  Lord  our God, the  Lord  is one. [ a ]   5  Love  the  Lord  your God with all your heart  and with all your soul and with all your strength.   6  These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.   7  Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. The promise is in faith and assurance apathetic, atheists, and agnostics - The apathetic do not acknowledge God either.  They do not seek him out although they may be aware of Him.  Romans 9:1-5 Matthew 23:37 37  “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings...
