Love shows up in various ways.


Love languages are a common discussion and an equally common struggle, not only for couples but in all kinds of relationships.

One would like to spend time together, and another might give a lot to express. Some may serve with actions, and others may express themselves through words. Then there may be some still who are in a kind of quiet love.

We all are unique and wonderful, and so are our needs and actions. But the important thing here is that we all want to be loved, and we all want our love to be recognized.

Here are some interesting perspectives:

*Never-giving-up Love*
Peter denied the Lord Jesus three times because of the fear of being persecuted as a disciple of Jesus. After the resurrection, Jesus came to him and reinstated Peter back to Him. (John 21: 15-17)

*Transforming Love*
A woman was caught in adultery and was brought to be stoned to death.
Jesus showed up not only for her rescue from physical death but from spiritual death due to sin as well. (John 8: 2-11)

*Understanding Love*
Thomas had his doubts about Jesus after the resurrection. Jesus asked him to confirm and believe by putting his fingers in the holes of His hands. (John 20: 24-28)

*Cleansing Love*
A leper, who was considered too unclean to be a part of the community, even, was of worth for Jesus to heal him. (Mark 1: 40-42)

*Redeeming Love*
The Samaritan woman at the well was living a troubled life. Jesus, despite being Jewish, asked her for water, breaking the cast barriers and revealing Himself to her as the Messiah. (John 4: 4-26)

*Reaching-out Love*
A disabled man was sitting near the pool of Bethesda for thirty-eight years. Jesus went to him and healed him. (John 5: 5-11)

*Deliverance Love*
Mary, the Magdalene, was possessed with seven evil spirits. Jesus redeemed her.
(Luke 8: 2)

*Providing Love*
A hungry crowd of five thousand men and families was listening to His sermon for days. He provided by multiplying a small lunch box of five loaves and two fish for them. (Matthew 14: 13-21)

*Miraculous Love*
The disciples had tried to catch some fish all night, only to find none. Jesus tells them to cast their net on the right side, and they end up with a miraculous catch of 153 fish. (John 21: 1-14)

*Resurrecting Love*
Lazarus was sick, eventually died, and was buried in the tomb for 4 days. Jesus shows up, and Lazarus comes out of the tomb, alive, on His call. (John 11: 38-44)

*Healing Love*
A woman was bent over and crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. Jesus called her forth and healed her. (Luke 13: 10-17)

*Eye-opening Love*
Jesus healed the blind man. A blind man was sitting on the roadside near Jericho. He called out to Jesus for mercy and restoring the sight. Jesus reached out and restored sight to his eyes. (Luke 18: 35-42)

*Receiving Love*
A certain woman, who was living a sinful life, came to Jesus and publicly washed His feet with tears and cleansed them with her hair. Jesus received her gratitude and love. (Luke 7: 36-50)

*Honouring Love*
Mary brought a jar of expensive perfume and poured it on Jesus, and people were indignant. Jesus defended her honour and act of worship. (John 12: 1-11)

*Forgiving Love*
Mathew, a tax collector, was living a sinful life by cheating his own community for taxes. Jesus called him to follow him without judging his actions. (Matthew 9:9-13)

*Belonging Love*
The disciples walked with Jesus, and he called them friends. ( John 15: 15) Furthermore, Jesus told them, “I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.” What a belonging. (John 14: 20)

*Sacrificial Love*
The world was lost and sinful, but this is how God showed His love for us: that Jesus died for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5: 8)

His love doesn’t fade away with time.
His love is independent of our actions.
His love is unconditional.
*God’s love shows up in various ways,*
*But never in various measures.*
*His love is the same, enough, and in full measure.* _*Always.*_

That’s How He loves. _*These are His Love LANGUAGES.*_

Daily pearls from the shore🫧

REPAY

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” (John 10: 10)

There is no certainty that life will be a bed of roses. On the contrary, it is said, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”(John 16: 33)

Both times, the statements don’t end in loss but with a promise and hope. The promise is restoration.

We encounter all kinds of losses in life. It may not only be the financial loss but loss of time due to sickness, traumatic relationship, addiction, missed opportunity, a wrong choice, emotional trauma, experiences of shame and disgrace, or loss of family or children. This is the fallen world we live in, and we are exposed to such attacks.
But the story doesn’t have to end there. "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. (Psalm 30:5)
The restoration is on its way.

As the Prophet was there with his servant and was busy in the jungle, the iron axe head fell into the water; and the man cried out and said, “Alas, master!” — IT WAS SUNK. (2 Kings 6:5)
Then the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” When he showed him the place, he cut down a stick and threw it in there, and made the iron float. (2 Kings 6:6)

The story not only depicts the miracle of the impossibility of a metal floating, but also establishes that loss will be restored even if it looks impossible.
Whether it is a health issue or any sickness, the promise is restoration of health and healing. (Jeremiah 30:17)

Perhaps you have lost years in a relationship only to experience betrayal, rejection, or pain, but God promises fruitfulness. (Hosea 2:15)
You may have a total dead situation, such as addiction in front of you, but God promises life out of dead bones (Ezekiel 37:5)

Some of us endure situations like Job went through with loss of family and fortune, but he was restored with double for the same. (Job 42:10)
Even in the curse of bondage and slavery, God used the same enemy to dispose of fortunes towards His people. (Exodus 3:21)

No matter how impossible it looks, no matter how huge the loss is or how deadly the sickness seems, GOD PROMISES RESTORATION.

There is a time for mourning the loss, but then there is a time to hold on to the promise of RESTORATION to the double of the portion.

Shame or disgrace, sickness or addiction, family or fortune, The GOD is MIGHTY to make the IRON AXE FLOAT. He can use as humble a thing as a wooden stick and get the metal out in place. He can turn the water into wine in no time.

Time, space, source, joy, peace, health, or strength, whatever the enemy tried to steal, God promises SEVEN FOLD REPAY. (Proverbs 6:31)
