Love Is An Action Word

Love is an action word
It is more than an emotion
We must show love to everyone
Our family, friends, peers, and enemies
We must also show loving-kindness to people we don’t know
By keeping them lifted up in prayer

Love is something that we share
We show we care and we sacrifice
For the Lord and for other people
Love sometimes requires us to put our needs aside to help others
Love makes us want to do our best and be our best so we can help others
Love makes us want to fulfill our destiny and our callings from on high

Love helps us to put with people
Who are obnoxious, rude, or mean
Love makes us have compassion 
On the sick, shut-in, and the poor
Love even cares for and prays for those society feels are undeserving
Love covers a multitude of sin and Jesus showed us the greatest love of all by dying on the cross and being raised from the dead three days later
If Christ could sacrifice his life for the world, then we should love God and other people enough to find out our callings and reach those in need
Love is an action word and we need to take that step and love everyone, even those who hurt us in the past or on a regular basis in our daily lives from the bottom of our hearts
