As we celebrate love today, many of us go the extra mile to express our affection to that special someone. We learn their love language and tailor our gestures to speak directly to their heart,but as believers, let’s not forget the ultimate love story. God’s unconditional love for us is the foundation of our faith. As 1 John 4:19 reminds us, “We love because He first loved us.”
Interestingly, God also has a love language. Jesus reveals it in John 14:21a: “Those who know my commands and obey them are the ones who love me.” Obedience is God’s love language – acts of service that demonstrate our devotion.
The beauty of it is that when we speak God’s love language, He responds with all the other love languages:
– Quality Time: He dwells with us and guides us through life’s journey.
– Gifts: He blesses us with spiritual gifts, talents, and abundant life.
– Words of Affirmation: He speaks words of encouragement, comfort, and affirmation through Scriptures
– Physical Touch: He touches our lives through the Holy Spirit, bringing healing, peace, and joy.
Imagine experiencing the depths of God’s love daily, much like the longing we have for a romantic partner’s attention and devotion.
✝️ I encourage us to prioritize speaking God’s love language today – obedience – and experience the richness of His love in return.
