DAY 9: Love is makes good impression
Greet one another with a kiss of love. —1 Peter 5:14
You've covered some serious ground so far in this journey. Learning to demonstrate aspects of love like patience, kindness, and encouragement are not always easy but are certainly crucial to a healthy relationship. You can tell a lot about the state of a couple's relationship from the way they greet one another. It is even more obvious by their physical contact. But how much importance should you give greeting?
The Bible has more to say about greetings than you might expect. The apostle Paul took time to encourage his readers to greet one another warmly when they met. Jesus noted in his sermon on the Mount that even pagans speak kindly to people they like and their enemies.
Think back to the story Jesus told of the prodigal son (Luke 15:20). Of all the scenerios this young man had played out his mind, this was likely the last one he expected. But how do you think it made him feel to recieve his father's embrace and heart his thankful tone? What do you think it did in their relationship?
Think about your greeting. Do you use it well? Does your spouse spouse feel valued and appreciated? Do you feel loved? Even when you are not getting along well, you can lessen the tension and give them value by the way you greet them.
Remember, love is a choice. So choose to change your greeting. Choose to Love.
TODAY’S DARE
Think of a specific way you’d like to greet your spouse today. Do it with a smile and with enthusiasm. Then determine to change your greeting to reflect your love for them.
QUESTION OF THE DAY
