I'm only on chapter 1 of The Love Languages of God and already I feel like I'm gonna bust - had to take a break.
I used to think that my love language was all 5 . . . which really sucks for Nate haha. But now I'm really thinking it's Words of Affirmation for sure.
I love reading God's words to me and about me. They make me feel so much.
I love lyrics from songs. They describe me and help me communicate back and forth with God.
I love "hearing" from God. It's like life get's so much clearer.
I really enjoy expressing myself through words - on this blog, on facebook, when I'm talking with people - I never considered myself a writer, but more and more I'm seeing my love for communication.
I feel way more close to God when I'm talking to people about Him, than when I'm serving, helping, spending time with them or hugging them. My words, His words, their words - all so meaningful to me.
Quality Time
With God can feel really boring and stale if I don't feel like He's speaking to me.
Acts of Service
feel empty if I don't have a connecting Scripture or don't feel Him compelling me. Without that, it's like I'm just kind of on my own - again it feels stale.
Gift Giving
Again, feels empty and stale if I don't feel God TOLD me to do so (whether by 1) speaking to my soul 2) scripture 3) or compelling/peace). It can almost feel like I'm just doing it to stay in His good graces or make myself look good.
Physical touch
Is actually important to me with God, I picture Jesus holding me, or hugging me, and I love it. But it generally comes after or before God communicates something to my soul.
I'm not even done with Chapter 1, so we'll see if any of these change, but I think the fact that I had to write this blog before I could finish reading is pretty telling :)
Growing in Him,
Morgan
