❤️❤️ Love is an Action Word ❤️❤️
I’ve become a speed reader.
Not just with emails and text messages — but with my Bible. And that’s when I have to stop and scold myself a little — because the Word of God is not a checklist. It’s not a “get-it-done” assignment. It’s a love letter from the One who knows my name.
But if I’m not careful, I’ll skim through holy words like I’m scrolling through social media.
My Bible is my “go-to” place for wisdom, comfort, and direction. I have favorite passages marked, highlighted, and even memorized. And that’s the problem — familiarity can breed carelessness.
Sometimes I read a verse and think, Yep, Got it. Next.
And somewhere in the unseen realm, the enemy whispers, “Perfect. Don’t slow down. Don’t let that sink in.”
BUT — if we actually soaked in God’s words… we’d be changed.
That’s why I’m stirred up about 1 Corinthians 13 — the greatest description of love ever written. We hear it at weddings, usually while someone is crying into a tissue and the photographer is snapping pictures like paparazzi.
But these words aren’t just wedding poetry. They are marching orders.
“Love IS patient and kind…”
Not love feels patient. Love acts patient. Love shows up!
“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast”
“Love is not arrogant or rude.”
“Love does not insist on its own way (oh me, how many times did I miss that one?)
“Love is not irritable or resentful”
“Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth” “Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.”
And then Jesus takes it even further and says, “Love your enemies.” (Matthew 5:44)
But He didn’t just command love — He demonstrated it.
“While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
So when people are difficult, rude, ungrateful, or downright hurtful — we may not feel love, but we can still DO love.
Love isn’t just something we feel… it’s something we DO.
God didn’t just talk about love — He proved it.
Love is an action word. Today, let’s show up with love — even when it’s not easy! ❤️
