Love in Action
OPENING PRAYER:
Loving Father, show me how to put love into action in my daily life. Help me to be intentional in loving others as You have loved me. Amen.
"Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth."
1 John 3:18 (NIV)
REFLECT:
John's exhortation to love with actions and in truth challenges us to move beyond mere words. Agape love is active and intentional, seeking the best for others. The message encouraged us to ask, "What does love require?" and to live out the answer. This requires us to be purposeful in our relationships and interactions.
Reflect on how you can put love into action today. Consider the people in your life who need to experience God's love through you. How can you serve them, encourage them, or support them? Let your actions speak louder than words, demonstrating the love of Christ in tangible ways.
APPLY:
Choose one person to intentionally serve or encourage today. Consider their needs and how you can meet them in a meaningful way.
I WILL STATEMENT:
I will do what love requires of me.
CLOSING PRAYER:
Jesus, thank You for showing me what love in action looks like. Help me to be intentional in loving others through my actions. May my life be a reflection of Your love and truth. Amen.
