We all like to hear the words, “I love you”, coming from a loved one. But if those words are not backed up by acts of love, they seem hollow and leave an empty feeling within us. Spontaneous, sincere, and selfless deeds that demonstrate heart felt love encourage the most downcast soul, warm the coldest spirit, and lift the lowliest heart to new heights.
The apostle John gave us this admonition in I John 3:18, “Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.” Words of love are nice, but acts of love come from deep within the heart of the giver and go deep into the heart of the receiver. Words quickly fade from our memories but actions last forever. Spread a little love today by doing some selfless act of kindness for a loved one.
