Your Question:
What is the language of love when words fail to convey?
Answer:
As I reflect on the language of love, I'm reminded that words alone may not be enough to convey the depth of our emotions. In our marriage, Susan and I have learned that sometimes, it's not what we say, but how we show love that truly matters. The language of love can be a deliberate choice, rather than an involuntary action. When I look at Susan, I see the love I have for her, and I'm compelled to express it in ways that she can understand. For her, it's not just about the words I say, but about the actions I take, like being physically affectionate, respecting her wishes, and spending quality time together. When we make a conscious effort to speak each other's love language, it brings us closer together. In the same way, when I'm speaking to my congregation as a pastor, I try to use language that resonates with them. I want to convey the love of God in a way that's relatable and understandable to them. It's not just about using the right words, but about being present, being attentive, and showing love in tangible ways. By doing so, we can break down barriers and connect with each other on a deeper level.
