Our Love Lauguage greatly affects how we strive in our relationship with others. We show our love in 1 or 2 prominent ways and would feel loved if our needs are met through that 1 or 2 prominent ways. For myself, I would feel loved the most when people do things for me, even at their inconvenience and I try to serve others in the same way to show how much I love them.
In light of this, we may not reach out to every single person due to our prominent love language and we think that we just don't click with certain people. Well, it's true in a way. But why not think about how you can meet the needs of others and care of people around you according to their love language. Let's make each other feel loved and important.
It takes every single one of us to take the initiative to change. I believe all of us could pin point the problem. Don't just analyse the problem, face it and solve it. Otherwise, the same old problem is just going to rise again after it is swept under the carpet for years and we bear the consequences of it.
Our God is omnipotent, He is always there to meet our love language in different ways, be it encouraging us, providing for us, spending time to fellowship with us, embracing us and sending us a helper, the Holy Spirit. One single person can't meet the needs of every person in the group, as we are not perfect in love. Thus, we need to be united and play our part. There must be certain people who are within our influence and are part of our lives. It's whether we are willing to serve or we just stay enclosed within our own lives and business.
To sacrifice our time for our friends and families whose love language is quality time. To give our love ones whose love language is physical touch, a hug. To encourage people with our words of affirmation. To make or buy gifts for each other to make each one of us feel special. To serve and be willing to help and listen always.You choose. You're that difference.
