Love is a Verb

“My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.”
1 John 3:18
 

Love is a decision and an action. Notice, the bible never defines love as an ideal or an emotion, but as a deed or an activity. It refers to the will rather that the emotions. Love is based on obedience to God’s Word not on your feelings or other’s responses.

God didn’t ask us to “feel” like loving but commanded us to think, act and speak in a loving manner through the enablement of the Holy Spirit. Love doesn’t take into account the wrong done to them! Love realizes the best about the person, not the worst. And, love looks out for the interest of others.

Thought for the Day:
When we truly love someone
We never think about self!
