Let us not love [merely] in theory or in speech but in deed and in truth.”
_1 John 3:17–18 (AMP)
-----
I’ve heard it said that you can give without loving, but you can’t love without giving. Notice this verse tells us that love isn’t just about our words or thoughts, it’s about our actions.
Love is about reaching out and meeting the needs of others. Sometimes meeting someone’s needs is as simple as a smile or sharing a word of encouragement. There are many ways to show the love of God.
Can you pay for someone’s gas or groceries? Do you see a need in someone’s life that you can meet? Remember, you are the hands and feet of Jesus in the earth. The Lord wants to bless you today so that you can be a blessing to others. He wants to work through you to show His love and compassion.
Today and every day, look for ways to put your love into action. The Bible says that it’s His kindness that leads people to repentance. He wants to show His kindness in the earth through you.

Step out and sow good seeds of love by meeting the needs of others. God promises that those seeds will produce an abundant harvest in your life in return!

and it starts especially with family.
have always viewed home being the very ministry that we should be excelling in, and appreciating the position that He has places us either... be it a parent, sibling or an in-grace.
the very comfort at home should not over-ride the absence and complacency of the constant care and presence of one as we would do for others. in fact we should be going an extra mile and above.
there should not be a difference off and on the pulpit as B.Johnson says which i entirely agree.
we are a everyday grace-filled and joyous being in edification and compelling love not by only the influence of great men, but a great God we truly serve.
we do not only lead in our own principals and revelations, but rather our example and testimony of our lives that brings His grace to light to the ones we hold dear to.
there is something so powerful when the family He has called you in is surrounded by love, encouragement, worship and prayer in any form or manner one practices.
understood that some families differ from each other, but love is still present in many other ways despite not saying it much. even a simple dinner or car ride speaks so much value in itself.
"Lord, teach me, show me, fill me, anoint me, and ENLARGE my heart for Your love to be compelled effortlessly in grace for my family which You have called me in. i surrender to You, because i know You shall come through for each and everyone of us, showing us Your perfect faithfulness and timing in all things.
indeed in one moment, everything can change. and i'm personally waiting for just that."
