Love not with word or tongue, but in deed and truth.

1 John 3:16-18, We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoever has the world’s goods, and beholds his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him? Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.

There are many who are quick to point out the faults of others, and indeed there is much to be pointed to in our culture. John reminds us to live in integrity; to use the many blessings God has given us as good stewards, to bless others. We have many such opportunities in the world around us!

Open our eyes to ways that we can love in deed and truth.
