1 John 3:18
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
This scripture admonishes us to check our love walk. We know that love has to be put into action but it seems as though as a people we fall short in the area of love. It is easy to say I love you but what actions are you putting behind these words? Do your family, friends, neighbors and those in your circle know you love them by words or by actions? Take a moment and think. What have you done to prove this love? If you lost your voice and couldn't communicate the words, could your deeds speak for you? If not, it's time to make a change. Don't allow your love to be empty professions. True love is a labor of deeds, mercy, grace, understanding and giving of ones self. Let us love in truth, being honest with others and ourselves exercising our love not only with words (which becomes empty and lifeless without works) but with works that are powered by our affections for others.
