My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
—1 John 3:18 (KJV)
"Talk is cheap!"
"You can tell me with your words, but I want to see it in your life."
"Put your life where your mouth is."
We know the slogans; now let's love in truth. In a world where barter has replaced sacrificial and steadfast love, let's go against the grain and truly love with our words and actions.

Sacrificial Father, I confess to you that at times I am selfish. Other times my intentions are good but my follow through and faithfulness are lacking. Use your Spirit to empower and enable me to be what I hope to become to your glory. May your love be seen in my actions of genuine concern today. I pray this in Jesus name. Amen.

Prayer Focus: God, I give you thanks for the many ways Your children are called to serve others through You. Awaken me to sense Your presence. Help me to catch glimpses of Your face in the faces of those around me. Help me to see others with Your eyes to know them as Your own precious children. Make me aware of me, what I cannot or will not recognize in myself and others. God show me myself. Convict me when I am wrong to repent. Encourage me when I am right to keep on doing what is right in Your eyesight. Help me, change me, and use me to do what You created me to do in excellence for Your glory. Amen.
