Let's pick up from the last post and begin to put some flesh on what true, biblical love is.
Love is a matter of choice.
"And over all other virtues, put on love, which binds them all together." (Colossians 3:14)
Love is not something we are a victim of, it's something we choose. To truly love someone you must make a conscious decision each day that you are going to do it, regardless of emotions.
Love is a matter of conduct.
"Let us not love with words or tongue, but with actions and truth." (1 John 3:18)
Love is more than what we say, it's a behavior. John was telling us to back up our words with concrete actions that demonstrate our love for one another.
Let me issue a challenge to you this week. Write down three tangible ways you can demonstrate your love for someone this week. And do them! You might be surprised at how much your relationship will improve.
Expecting Great Things,
Bryan
