The Sweetest Words: By God & For God
Hello!
Here I am back with the continuation of our series: By God & For God! I hope you enjoyed the previous articles.
As you may know, in this series, I tell you about the languages of love.
If you are joining us this week for the first time, have you ever heard of it? Otherwise, here's a short explanation.
A pastor in the United States, Gary Chapman, wrote about this subject and explains that there are five love languages. And this is what I’m offering to you to discover today and for the rest of the summer. I’ll start with this article with a quick explanation as to what it is (trust me, it isn’t long). And then, I will talk to you about how we can use said language for a reason; I believe that that reason is for that ever-important relationship with God.. These languages deserve to be lived. All of this makes Him happy! In the same way that He shows us His love for us through those very same languages.
Today, let's talk about words that empower.
What is that ?
Some people feel loved when given compliments and encouragement, of course it is important that they are sincere. These people don't need you to flatter their ego, but need to know what you see as being empowering in them.
How to live this with God?
There is a simple answer ... Especially if you have spent time in church services ... It is worship! Angels do not cease to worship God, even though they have lived in His presence since He created them. The Bible also has a book full of them, the Book of Psalms. You can get support from it if you don't know where to start.
But, as we remind ourselves that God is Spirit, we can find other ways to give Him meaningful words. You can testify of Him, explain who He is to you to other people. If I can say it, it's killing two birds with one stone, haha. You testify and seek to make Him known while showing your love to Him in this way.
I believe, and this is really a personal interpretation, that another way of speaking this language of love with God is to speak in truth, to be honest and loving towards all. It's a personal point of view, it just seems a little consistent to me. It's about talking about the truth that God speaks to those around us.
How does God show it to me?
In the same way that we can worship God and recognize who He is, God has told us who we are, as believers, for Him. I'll let you find out.
God formed you: “He created them male and female and blessed them. And he named them "Mankind" when they were created" (Genesis 5: 2)
You belong to Him: “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it” (Psalm 24: 1)
You are His child:"But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God." (John 1:12)
You are precious in His eyes: “Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life.” (Isaiah 43: 4)
I hope this has given you a new perspective on loving God and seeing God's love for you,
Be blessed abundantly,
Do.
