Knowing your significance within a relationship
We all say the words "I love you" It's almost become a casual thing to say in our culture. Lately I have been thinking about that phrase and the depth of it. I've been careful to only say it sincerely. By saying "I love you" so often it can lose significance. I feel like you should not only tell the one's that you love that you love them but also tell them why. I'm not saying that you love a person based on works that they've done for you. I'm saying there are things about them that God has put in them that play a significant role in your life. If you say something like, "I love you...I love you because your smile changes the atmosphere around me." Saying things like that reaffirms their identity. You remind them that their smile is not just an ordinary smile but it's a smile with a purpose. Letting someone know the significant role that they play in your life keeps them in alignment with their destiny. If people see that they make a difference just by smiling they will think "Wow if I can make a difference in someone's life just by smiling I wonder what else I can do!" By calling out what you love about someone you are calling them deeper into their destiny. Now I'm not saying you always have to have an explanation after you say I love you but just think about it more before you say it. Let them know that you mean it. Think of the power of those words. How those words can change someone's world. Anyone can say I love you. Be the one that lifts someone up with love. People need to know that love is real. Love the way that you want to be loved and they will see the sincerity in your eyes. I love each of my friends dearly but all in different ways. They bring different things out in me. They all teach me something different and beautiful. They are all significant and amazing to me. More importantly they are significant and amazing to the Father.
