love is something your do…

the bible says that love is a conduct. it’s a behavior. it’s an action. it’s a way of acting. love is something you do.

the bible says in 1 john 3.18 (lb), let us stop just saying we love people. let us really love them and show it by our actions.

love is not something you feel. love is not something you say. love is something you do. it’s behavior. it’s actions. it’s an activity. it’s more than just talk. it’s more than just sentimental feeling. it’s more than a nice pretty hallmark card. love is something you do.

a guy was telling his girlfriend all the time, “i would die for you.” she said, “you’re always saying that, but you never do it.” love is something you do.

how many times have you thought: i need to write a letter to that person. i need to make a call. i need to give a word of encouragement to that person at work. i need to go next door to my neighbor’s and do such and such. and you have all these great intentions of loving and showing kindness and showing unselfishness, but you didn’t do it. and the opportunity bypassed you. now it’s gone. over. you’re not going to get it back. and you have missed an opportunity to grow in love, missed an opportunity to do that which matters most. love is a conduct.

just a thought from the front porch…
