The Daily Blueprint for 10/27/10
More Then Words
1st JOHN 3:18
Let us not love in word or speech
but in deed and in truth!
Often times we can say a great many things - we can proclaim the truth - we can praise GOD - we can love others with our mouths - but at the end of the day - do we do more?
Do we put action to our words? Or are our words empty! Jesus calls us to love others with more then words - it's easy to bless someone by saying something good to them - but putting action to those words is far better - many times I have seen the poor and the needy come to me with a need - I have to admit there have been times I have turned them down - not because I didn't have the money but because I didn't want to be bothered - I admit it - and I know it was wrong - I did bless them with words but not with action - now this is not to say this should be a legalisic thing - there will be times when the only thing we can do is speak the words of JESUS to someone in need - but again there will be times when we are able to do more then speak words - those are the times we need action behind our words - believe it or not the world around us is checking us out - when we proclaim we know JESUS they want to see what it's all about - they want to see a difference between us and the world - they also check out our words and our actions checking to see if they match - there have been times I did more then speak words and it was such a blessing - We need more then words to love like JESUS! How is your life compare to your words? Think about that today!
Learning to speak with my actions!
Daniel
WORD TO THE WISE:
WE LOOK MOST LIKE JESUS WHEN
OUR WORDS AND ACTIONS MATCH!
BECAUSE OF
CHRIST
WE HAVE ACTION BEHIND OUR WORDS!
