"Love Without Words"  

Posted by: Charity Gordon


What if you couldn't speak how would you share the gosspel? At one point in my life I was blessed to work with deaf people. I was a bus aid and we carried hearing empaired children. The bus driver and I were determined to be able to communicate with these preciouse children so we took classes. In taken the classes and spending time with these children we learned how expression and movement was very important when communicating with each other. For these children to "speak louder" or to be heard they had to really emphasize movement and there face expressions. This was there way to communicate effectivly and to be understood. A launguage that could only be seen and not heard. If they didn't want to listen they would just close their eyes. Dear God may we open up our eyes and learn the language of love. Let us use our hands to reach out to others. May our hearts speak the laungage of love without words. We often speak words that our empty because we say one thing and do another. As we see the love of Christ we see love in action. Love should be stirred up within our hearts so much so that it spills out on those around us. Let us try and put our focus on what we are doing or not doing. Love speaks many launguages the one that speaks loudest is that which is spoken with our hands.
