Giving gifts

Giving gifts is one of the 5 love languages. I personally love giving gifts to others especially when it is out of pure love and joy for them and not for a specific reason or me trying to get something out of it. And I love when others think of me and give me gifts but I wouldn't say I need it in my life. Sometimes it can feel awkward opening gifts especially when you don't love it or you just feel awkward because someone thought about you in a special way. 

Giving gifts can be a special way to show someone you really love them. But what I think is so special about it is that you truly think they would love it and you see what their opinion would be when you are buying it. Gifts doesn't have to be a constant thing but I believe when you love somebody and care about them in Christ gifts are a great way to show your love and expand and deepen your relationship. 

But always when buying gifts they should be bought with the right heart. Never feeling like you have to buy a gift even if it is their birthday, but instead caring about them and wanting to celebrate how God made them through a physical gift. Gifts shouldn't be trying to cover up a secret or hide something from somebody when you wronged them. Gifts shouldn't be something that you are manipulating the situation because you actually want the gift more than they would. 

You can show Gods deep love through gifts if you use His gifts appropriately.
