Love is an action, not just words
Love is something we do, not just an act of the will. Yet acting on our love is not always easy in some instances.For example, when we are exhausted, we serve others with the love that God displays through us regardless of how we feel or our state of mind. Love takes action, even when doing so requires more effort than we want to put forth.
Our actions are to back up our words and are the proof of our love. That is why we are called to love not only "in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth" (1 John 3:18). We must challenge ourselves to do the work of love that God has graciously shown us.
We are to express God's love not only by words and attitudes but by our actions. When we do, God's Spirit, at work in us, will cause the fruit of love to blossom in our lives while we give God our whole heart and allow His love to flow through us as we partake in His work of love.
