Your Question:

What's the best way to show love to those around us?

Answer:

As a pastor and a husband, I've come to realize that showing love to those around us is not just about grand gestures, but about the everyday moments we share with them. One way to express love is to be present in the moment, whether it's taking a walk, sitting by the fireplace, or going on a picnic. Even making an effort to plan these activities can be a significant sign of love. It's also essential to work on our personal appearance as a gift to our loved ones.

Playfulness and fun are also crucial in creating an affectionate climate. As a father, I've found that when I make an effort to look my children directly in the eye, with physical touch and loving words, it can have a profound impact on their demeanor. It's not always easy, especially with older children, but it's essential to show them love in ways that are meaningful to them. I've also learned that it's not just about saying "I love you," but about sending messages of love in direct, personal, specific, and ever-fresh ways.

As a follower of Christ, I'm reminded that our love is a sign to the world that we are his disciples. When we show love to one another, it's a living proof to the world that God the Father has sent his Son Jesus Christ and that the Father loves people even as he loves Jesus. By communicating love in the way our loved ones need it, we can build stronger relationships and deepen our connection with them. It's not always easy, but it's worth it to see the impact it can have on those around us.
