As I have shared before, I am a "Show Me" type of person. You can talk all day about what you are going to do, or how much someone means to you, or how devoted you are to something, but your actions, my actions speak much louder than my words. It's not about what we say we will do; it's about what we do.
There are so many times in my life that I can look back and remember things I said I was going to do, or things I said I was never going to do, and I did the complete and total opposite. There have been countless times I have had to go to someone and apologize for not following through with my words. It's about more than words...
Today's word is 1 John 3:18, NIV, which reads, "Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth."
It's easy to tell someone you love them; it means more to show them. No one really feels loved as much as when someone shows them love. A kind gesture, a little back rub, a hot meal, a caring spirit, a non-judgmental, truthful conversation, telling someone the truth even when it hurts (in love), are all active ways to love someone.
I've said it before but I quote it only as a reminder to myself: "Your wife will never find you sexier than when you take the time to help her." True love has more to do with what you do than with what you say - it's more than words.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
