They seemed so nice as one by one, they walked into the Clinic and said “Good Morning” to anyone who crossed their paths. Among them were those few whose smiles were so wide and seemed they were bringing such gladness into the start of this day but I had deciphered their inner beauty long time ago. What the outside showed was different from their inner attitudes and motivations displayed.
“Actions speak louder than words…”
“Good morning,” this one particular boss uttered to me as she saw me from a distance.
I nodded to acknowledge her greeting but without any words. Nothing came out of my mouth as my brain processed a greeting deprived of love? Like what Paul said, we can speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but without love we will be like a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. (1 Corinthians 13:1).
“Actions speak louder than words…”
People can speak with great eloquence and such great wisdom but without love, it will not mean anything.
“Actions speak louder than words…”
Jesus had shown His love to all. He gave His life to show how much love He has for everyone. He shed His blood and became the ransom for ours.
“Actions speak louder than words…”
“19 We love because he first loved us. 20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 21 And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.” – 1 John 4:19-21 (NIV)
Jesus came down from heaven to speak about God’s love to this world deprived of love.
“We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us.” – 1 John 3:16 (NIV)
