Love

1 John 3: 18
"Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth."

God wants us to love with actions and in truth. Whether it is towards God's people, our family or even those who do not know God, He wants us to show love with action and in truth. If we were to write a card or tell our family how much we love them, He would rather we love them with action and in truth.

To love with action is to do acts of service unto the people we love, which is every person on this earth- the saved and the unsaved- because God loves us All.
To buy breakfast for my family.
To help with the housework.
To pray with them.
To talk to anyone who looks lonely in school.
To buy something for them if they can't go and eat...

To love in truth is to love in a Godly way by following how the Bible defines love! To love Your people the way You love us! Some verses to always remember are: 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, 1 John 3:18.
