1. Give up something of yourself. This is tough many times, but
if you give of yourself no matter how much it may be, it shows
others how much you really care and love them!
2. Give a gift. Giving gifts are simple, yet mean so much. I know
that when I receive a gift from someone, I feel good inside. I
often think, "They remembered me...that's really nice."
3. Write a letter. I absolutely love to write letters and I know that
many people like to receive letters. The thoughts and time one
spends writing confirms how much one cares about the other.
Also, they can keep those letters for as long as they wish to be
reminded of what you have written to them!
4. Hugs and kisses. I am a very affectionate person and from my
own experience I can say that I really like to give hugs and I
guess you could say I am a "touchy" person. Almost everyone
enjoys hugs! :)
5. Listen. Sometimes this one can take practice to really learn how
to do this. Listening shows the person who is talking that you care
and love to be there and be helpful to them. It shows that you are
not just blowing them off. I enjoy it when others listen and I bet
you do too!
6. Give wisdom from the Bible. You can NEVER go wrong here!
If it's in the Bible, it is Truth! Truth always shows love, no matter
the circumstance. God's word is living and active. love is always
the root (or correction or guidance too, which boils down to love!)
7. Give up your time. Giving your time for someone shows that
you will take what you have and impart it into their life. Taking
time out of your day shows that you love and care about what
the other person is going through!
8. Words of Affirmation. Words of affirmation generally show that
you love and care about the other person. When you say "I love
you!" for example, does it make you feel loved? I personally think
"love" is thrown around too casually nowadays. It can be
wonderful to know that you are truly loved!
9. Do an act of service. Service is your actions. Actions often speak
louder than your words because what you think in your heart, you
will act on. That is why it's so important to have a pure heart and
mind. If someone did something for me out of love, I would
recognize it because the true love they show is revealed through who
they truly are!
10. Most of all I think is to pray. Praying over someone is a definate
way to show someone you care about them. When someone
remembers to pray for me, I often feel like they are filling a gap that
needed their prayer of faith. The Bible says if two or more are gathered
together in my name it will be done. Overall though it has to have faith,
truth, and God's word in the prayer!
I encourage you to show true love starting today! That's what I am
going to do! Tell me what kind of results you get over a period of
time you think is best! :)
