Heaven's Love Language
Pastor Sherman Scott
I can remember the day I married my wife, it was a sunny day
in September and everything was perfect. We were happy to finally get the
chance to say I do. We both thought that after we say I do everything would be
wonderful. We would buy our first home together, raise children and serve the
Lord with all our hearts.
Things were great for a while, until after the marital bliss
was gone and we had settled in. We started to notice that marriage was
different than dating. There were things she liked that I hated, and vice
versa. My wife grew up doing things one way and I grew doing things a different
way.
Then one day we were listening to the radio and heard Dr.
Gary Chapman a leading author in biblical marriage counseling talk about a book
he had written entitled The Five Love Languages. Right then we realized we
spoke different languages and if our marriage was to succeed we had to become
bilingual. I had to learn to speak her language and she had to learn to speak
mine.
As Christian sometimes we can get so got up into having
church and walking in our different roles as believers in the church that we
forget to speak the language of our heavenly Father gave us; the language of
Love. John 3:34-35 states that we have received a new command; which is to love
other believers based on the sacrificial love of Jesus: This is the new
language we have to learn, to love others based on the sacrificial love of
Jesus.
Our love and support for one another enables us to survive in
a hostile world. Just as Jesus Christ was the embodiment of God's love, so now
we should embody Christ's love. This love is a sign to the world as well as to
every believer.
