1Jn 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
Our love must go beyond warm words and good intentions. Our love must be shown in how we act and behave. Our love must be sincere enough to be acted upon. Love is known by how it behaves. Let us live our lives demonstrating our love for God by our obedience and our love for one another by our treatment of those around us.
