How do you like to be loved?

1 John 4:19

A minister was speaking to the Sunday school about the things money can’t buy. “It can’t buy laughter and it can’t buy love” he told them.

1) = Words of Affirmation…. The way He talks to us

You feel extremely loved when your partner compliments you on the way you look or on the things you have done. You love their encouragement and verbal support and save their cards and love notes as some of your most precious items. You are always filled with such love when you receive a card they've written that expresses their heartfelt love for you in their own litle way, little poems they might write, or if they ring you spontaneously during the day to say they love you.

2) = Acts of Service The things He does for us

You feel so loved when your partner does little things to help you. You always notice when they are thoughtful and put themselves out to assist you, even if you could do those things yourself. There is such a sense of love and thankfulness you feel when they do this.

Eph 2: 1 And you [hath he quickened], who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised [us] up together, and made [us] sit together in heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in [his] kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

3) = Physical Touch The way He touches us

Before I heard the doctors tell the dangers of a kiss,

I had considered kissing you the nearest thing to bliss.

But now I know biology, and sit and sigh and moan;

Six million mad bacteria, and I thought we were alone.

You feel especially loved when your partner touches you in loving ways. Whether it's a spontaneous kiss, playful cuddle, or gentle, loving touch on the arm, you feel that touch convey the love your partner feels. You don't understand why people would prefer to sit far apart on different chairs or couches, when they could be touching or in each other's arms. When walking together, you really enjoy your partner reaching out to hold your hand, and you'd never say no to them giving you a massage.

Luke 5: 12 And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on [his] face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 13 And he put forth [his] hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
