love means being willing to speak someone's language. if you date someone who speaks a different language, one way you show love is to find the special phrases and words that touch their heart. it's true even when two people speak the exact same language. love means finding the things that allow the other person to hear your love, to sense your love, to feel loved. it's not just enough to have love in our hearts. that love is useless. no, much like faith without works is invisible, love without received expression is also invisible. when you love, it means choosing not only to live in your own lifestyle, in your own love language, but in another person's as well. it means finding those "words" that open the door into the other person's soul and allows them to know your love. it's like a type of translator between what one person feels (says) and what the other person feels (understands) because of it. when we genuinely love....when we are not just simply infatuated for our own happiness or purposes....we learn to speak that language. and when we are loved in return, they learn to speak ours as well. it's true in spouses, parents to children, siblings, and friends. showing love often means learning a new way of expressing it.....at least new to the giver.
