Showing Love Through Service

Read: Galatians 6:10

“Whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone – especially to those in the family of faith.”

For some people, action speak louder than words. Acts of Service is probably the primary love language of these people. It’s what makes them feel loved. The words “I love you” may seem shallow to these folks if they are not accompanied by Acts of Service.

Mowing the grass, cooking a meal, washing dishes, vacuuming the floor, getting hairs out of the sink, removing white spots from the mirror, taking out of the garbage, changing baby’s diaper, painting the bedroom, dusting the blinds, walking the dog – these types of things communicate love.

In Galatians, Paul encourages us to take opportunities to do good and kind things for other believers. How much more should we do this for the one we love the most? Do these things, and your spouse will feel loved.

Remember that the Lord loves it when we serve each other in love and put each other’s need above our own, especially to your spouse. When you serve your spouse, joy in the relationship will grow.
