Stop! In the Name of Love!

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 can be 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 in quality and consistent interactions;

I want to be your favorite hello, and your hardest goodbye,
I’m good 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;

I am set in my ways, but you add something different,
You allow me to see another view that’s just as significant;

Therefore, love is so much more than a bunch of words,
Love is beyond what’s seen, touched, smelled, tasted, and heard.

Prayer: Lord, You are all about love. You are love! Give us a burning desire to emulate this gesture beyond our words. More importantly, we are known for the love we exhibit as Christians. Let the love we show bring a multitude of believers to the Kingdom. In the name of Your Son, The Lord Jesus Christ!
