"But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him."
1 John 3:17-19
Its amazing how our deeds and actions can say so much about our hearts. When we are willing to help others, extend a hand, or simply show love to others, God's love shine through us and shows the world who He is. This is the best way to minister to others.
On the other hand, when our deeds are not pure. When we have an altered motive in mind. When our hearts are clouded with greed or hate and we do not help others or love them, then God is not able to shine through us. Even if we know the bible by heart and proclaim to believe it.
Our actions truly do speak louder than our words. What do your actions say?
Father I pray that You will change our hearts. Remind us to always allow You to shine through us. To extend Your love to everyone we meet no matter how we are treated in return. Help us to keep pure motives and to love all as You love us.
In Jesus name, Amen
With God's Love,
Christian
