TT - ♥ Valentines Day Resources ♥

Valentines Day is a wonderful time of the year to help us remember those we love. Often times we seem to get in a rut and forget to say I love you.
I love you should never just be mere words, love needs to be a VERB. I've been thinking about this over the last week and just how much my Saviour loved me. As He said: Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends. John 15:3 and He did so for me. As I page through the word I realize more and more just how much the Lord uses the word love in an active and action form. From this I have been inspired to find some resources to show love in a deep and meaningful way.

 Welcome to Tuesdays Treasures.  I started these posts as a way of sharing great books in honour of my friend in New Zealand who would arrive with the treasures she had unearthed at her weekly trip to the library!

There are so many wonderful books out there hiding on shelves so I invite you to blog about a book on your shelf, one you're reading or one you found at the library and add your post to Learning All the Time Favourite Resource Link Up.

Ten ways to Love

I remember a few years ago reading The 5 Love Languages and being so excited to learn about the ways in which we express love and read expressions of love so we feel loved. ( I highly recommend this book to any couple it will open new avenues and broaden your understanding)
A few days ago on Facebook I came across this list and as I read it again today I realized that I had shifted my focus to expressing love via the love languages and had not used the tools available in the Word to express love more deeply and fully in my day to day activities.

I wanted to share it with you because it is a list of love in ACTION. Love is not a noun it's a verb. I like this list because it is taken from all over the word. 
10 Ways to love
  1. Listen without interrupting (Proverbs 18:13)
  2. Speak without accusing (James1:19)                     
  3. Give without sparing. (Proverbs 21:26)
  4. Pray without ceasing. (Colossians 1:9)
  5. Answer without arguing. (Proverbs 17:1)
  6. Share without pretending. (Ephesians 4:15)
  7. Enjoy without complaint. (Philippians 2:14)
  8. Trust without wavering (1 Corinthians 13:7)
  9. Forgive without punishing. (Colossians 3:13)
  10. Promise without forgetting. (Proverbs 13:12)

1 Corinthians 13 says love expresses itself this way:
  1. Be patient (verse 4)
  2. Be Kind (verse 4)
  3. Not envious (verse 4)
  4. Be modest and quiet. (verse 4)
  5. Is polite and respectful (verse 5)
  6. Forgives and keeps no record of wrongs. (verse 5)
  7. Rejoices in truth (verse 6)
  8. It protects (verse 7)
  9. It Trusts and is ready to believe the best of every person (verse 7)
  10. It perseveres. (verse 7)
Making this list has encouraged and equipped me.  I have been feeling very weary of keeping on keeping on in a situation and I see that love perseveres.  I feel like I have many more tools in my toolbox available to me now.

How do you express love in your day to day living ? What do you use as your plumb line and guide ?

Blessings
