This morning I woke up and read some comments on a post I made on Facebook about prayer. There was confusion on the points I was making. Then I do my morning reading and this is what I read. I’ll quote it because it’s spot on. “We often spend hours each day on our computers or cell phones. We encourage each other via WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram; send hearts and hugs; etc., but what we may not realize is that this isn’t necessarily the way Jesus has shown His love!”
This reminds me of the saying, “Actions speak louder than words.“ The Bible tells us, to not just love with words or speech. But with actions and with truth. Jesus is the ultimate example of this. Leaving his throne to join us on earth. And then to suffer a tremendously painful death. Teaching us how to love with action. I’m not saying we have to die for others to show love. But we can do different tasks for them that show it. Buying groceries. Mowing the grass. Visiting in hospitals. Especially since our words can be confused. Sometimes people don’t understand exactly what we’re trying to say. Sometimes we’re not being very clear.
So today let’s show our love through deeds. Not just typing. Let’s turn our words in actions. Let’s make sure our actions show true love. Instead of typing a reply, let’s go see the people that we are commenting on their posts. Let’s be the light that others can’t seem to find. Let’s remember that sacrifice made for us some 2000 years ago. Because we already know-Actions speak louder than words.
