Physical touch is the love language that entails hugging, holding of hands, a peck on the forehead etc. You must have come across a set of people who have a habit of having body contact (touching) when they speak, this could be their love language. For people who do not speak physical touch as a love language and who might naturally not like it, they have to make conscious effort to speak it, especially to those around them who speak 'physical touch.'

You could just do as little as giving a hug to show love to the other person. Learning to deliberately speak other love languages that is naturally not yours is good, as it helps you accommodate the other person, just as you hope they also accommodate you by learning and speaking your love language.

I guess it is the contact we have with the people around us that keeps us human. It is the feelings and connections we get from relating with people that makes the world revolve. Love is a beautiful thing and should not be limited to only friends and loved ones alone.

As Christians, we should imbibe it in our daily life, try to speak all the love languages as much as you can, within your capacity, to the people you come across on daily basis. It is indeed not easy, but it pays as you can never tell what life you are touching through your actions, who is being transformed by your deeds, who you are reaching out to and impacting.

It should, however, be noted that we are dealing with fellow humans and so, it is expected that our show of love to them might not be appreciated or even noticed due to human imperfections. I would therefore like to emphasise, on this ground, that your reason for showing love should not be to get attention, appreciation or recognition from people. Your ultimate reason should be that you are doing it as unto God, as a proof of your love for God.

We should know that we are sowing a seed and we will reap a bountiful harvest at the right time (in His time). If we show love for the wrong reasons, we stand a huge chance of being disappointed and dejected at the outcome (Matt. 6:1-18). Our show of love should always be unconditional. Speaking all the love languages fluently well, I emplasise again, takes deliberate effort, constant practise and help from the Holy Spirit because we cannot achieve much by our own accord /strength /power (Rom. 8:11).

Fact: 1. Do you know that the word 'Christian' originated from Antioch because the disciples behaved like Jesus Christ?

2. Do you know that Jesus, in all His perfection, spoke all love languages perfectly well? For confirmation, study His miracle-pattern and life style in the Bible!

WHAT MAKES YOU BEHAVE LIKE YOU?

Recently or should I say for sometime now, there's been a lot of questions on my mind about why I act the way I do, why I react a particular way to a situation, different from how another person would react in such situation, what makes individuals act alike or differently as the case may be, etc. Okay, these questions kept coming so, I used one of the special and most useful products of technological advancement, the google search engine to solve the mystery. Of course, I discovered that these questions were popular to the majority all around the world, which gave rise to research on why we act the way we do by psychologists and other individuals. From my finding, this research gave rise to the discovery of what we now refer to as TEMPERAMENTS. My simple definition of temperament goes thus: Temperament refers to the fundamentals of why we act the way we do when presented with different situations or circumstances and also in our daily lives. These fundamentals are genetic

An INFJ's Journey To Self Discovery

©16personalities.com In one sentence - It was hard. Growing up, I discovered quite quickly that I was different. The two words that I remember being used to describe me while growing up were - "Quiet and Slow." There were many instances in which the words were used but, the most notable experience was my tenth birthday anniversary.  I was born into a Christian family, so most celebrations were carried out within the religious gathering - my ten years old birthday celebration was not excluded either. It was a surprise celebration - I had no idea that it was being planned until the birthday morning when a huge cake landed on our doorstep. We (My family and I) took the cake and some snacks to the church family for the celebration, as was the norm.  Several people who had close relationships with me were given the chance to talk about me during the ceremony. I remember vividly because the event was recorded into a tape which I watched severally growing up. My brother

Self Discovery and Your Basic Temperament

In a previous article , we introduced temperaments as the fundamental reasons we act differently or alike as the case may be. The four major temperaments known are: Choleric (extroverted) Sanguine (extroverted) Melancholic (introverted)   Phlegmatic /Supine (introverted) Each of these temperaments have traits that are unique to them. When the temperaments blend together in a person, we see the person exhibit traits from their temperamental blend. The traits they show more determine their Primary temperament while the Secondary temperament, as the name implies, balances it out. The four temperaments combine to form blends which are 12 in number. You might also show tetiary and quaternary traits from other temperaments but these are negligible.  The 12 blends of temperaments (from the most extroverted to the most introverted) are:  Sanguine-Choleric (San-Chlor) - Complete Extrovert Choleric-Sanguine (Chlor-San) - Complete Extrovert  Sanguine-Phlegmatic (San-Phleg) -
