Love Can Help You Grow
Psalm 30: 1–6, 11–13
The most valuable love language is quality time. The element of time has the ability to move so quickly that there is a want to have more. It also has the ability to feel as though it is not moving, where the world revolves around that moment.
Time is fast.
Time is slow.
Time can never go backwards.
Time is irreplaceable.
Time builds love.
Time will bring fear.
Time has the mysterious ability to make you feel.
Time is a language that few take advantage of.
For those that do, find every memory valuable.
The love language of quality time is the only one that is embedded in all of the others.
There may be moments of challenges and tough love. This is the type of love that may take time to understand. At the moment, it may not feel good, but with time it can have an outcome for our good. “…weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” Psalm 30:1-6, 11-113) God can send trials in our day, but the experiences can help to make us better. Love does not always feel good, but good love can help us grow.
Reflection: Have you found tough love that has helped you grow?
