Actions

So lately I have thinking about my own selfishness.  As I think about combating selfishness the word love comes to mind. But then I started thinking about how love truly manifests itself. I realized here is where the hard part comes in. It is easy to say that I love people but do I really always show love? Do I really love all people? 

“Is Jesus acting in our hearts to reach out to the person who isn’t like us – the oppressed, the poor, the unchurched – and to humble ourselves, give of our money, build our communities in love, give our time, our creativity, get on our knees before our enemies in humility, treating them as Scripture says, as people who are more important than we are?” – Donald Miller

 I pray that love will not just be a word in my life but continual actions. Actions filled with forgiveness, mercy, and justice.  Actions that don’t care if anyone else is looking. Actions that see no bounds, no barriers. Actions that aren’t afraid of looking foolish. Actions that take risks.  

You've heard it a million times - actions speak louder than words. So go out there show love!
