Stop In The Name Of Love

Scripture: 1 John 3:18 - My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
How is love proven?
It’s not about what I say, but what I’m doing
I can’t afford to fall in love with words of satisfaction
I’m purposing to fall in love with the person’s actions
This will remove any developing doubts
I’m able to discern what this person’s motives are all about
Trust is earned, when actions meet words
Promises and vows are empty proposals heard
Even when apologetic, words mean nothing
If behaviors continue, you’ve shown me little to nothing
The mirror of a person’s heart is seen in his or her actions
The truth is revealed through consistent interactions
I want to be your favorite hello, and your hardest goodbye
I’m good when alone, but more comfortable when you’re nearby
I anticipate your spirit as my confidant and partner
Your presence makes it easier when matters get harder
Sure, I handle things a certain way, but you add something different
You allow me to see another perspective that could be significant
Therefore, love is so much more than a bunch of words
Love is chosen actions on how I am touched, seen, smelled, tasted and heard
Prayer: Lord, Your love is shown and proven. You’ve healed me when I was sick, you’ve chastened me, you’ve interceded in my matters, and you’ve even given Your life for me. I just want to say Thank You! This love is greater and deeper than man can ever fathom; yet we can understand our unworthiness and receive the grace that is given to those who believe. I am blessed beyond measure with a love that can’t be taken away. You are worthy of all praises! Father, continue to teach me how to show my love to others in Your name. I will be careful to give You all the glory. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen!
