This question is who needs my love today?
There are obvious answers to this - nearest and dearest - and rightly so
And then there are less obvious ones too - those who you will come in contact with today ... who could you show love to today who might need a listening ear, a bit of time, an unexpected gift.
Over the past few years I have dipped in and out of a book 5 Love Languages - do you know what your primary love language is and what the language of the person you are closest to is? what others about you are?
The theory in this book is that everyone has a primary & secondary love language - right from childhood onwards and we experience as well as give love in one of these 5 ways.
we might be clearly (to us) showing love but actually the other person doesn't understand that. For example a gift giver might always be giving presents but actually the receiver really wants to do is sit down and have some quality time with the person.
Does that make sense?
It works in Child / Parent relationships, in spouses, in dating and also to a lesser extent in others too.
