Actions speak louder than words.
I was just talking about this with my daughter
the other day. We can say we are sorry
but unless our actions mirror our words, what we say holds no value. When I tell my children I love them but do
not follow through with actions to build up those words, what do they really
mean?
I seem to be in a time of waiting, treading
spiritual water, to some degree. I do
not feel a call to move in any specific direction but to work through each day
where I am. I look around and see people
I know and love obviously showing God’s love in truth and in action; what am I
doing?
As I meditated on this verse and my days I came
to the basic truth that I can love in truth and action within my own home. How often do I wish my children were more
loving to each other? How often do I
wish I hadn’t spoken in harsh tones but in Godly, loving, correction?
My daughter came down the stairs very early
this morning – in the middle of my quiet time.
I am learning to breathe and gently accept interruptions that happen
during these times. Life is full of
interruptions and it is during those moments that I know I need to work to live
in love and truth, acting accordingly.
Lord,
Thank
you for your grace and love. Thank you
for your Spirit that guides me. Write
these words on my heart and soul that I recall them in the moments I need them. I rejoice in you this morning. I soak in your love and pray I share that
love as you call me to this day. Amen.
