Just me trying to be honest with God.

”If love were just an emotion, then God couldn’t command it. But love is something you do. It can produce emotion, but love is an action.” Rick Warren

There was a season in my life when I measured the sincerity of my love by how strongly I felt about someone. Now, I know that it is my actions--what I do and do not do, that is the true measure of a real love. We can have deep feelings for God or the people in our life but it is our actions that communicate that we love them. There is little value in feelings alone. Real love really loves, not in word and feelings only, but in doing.

“Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.”  1John 3 Conversations Within” ts 5/11/2016
