Love Is Action

Scripture

 “Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” - John 13:35 NLT

Devotion

Dr. Tatum explained that agape love is not always based on warm feelings. Sometimes people frustrate us. Sometimes relationships are difficult. But God’s love goes beyond feelings and moves into action.

Agape love chooses grace, mercy, service, and compassion even when emotions are not perfect. It helps us minister to people, forgive people, and serve people because Christ first loved us. The world is marked by hatred and division, but the church should be marked by love.

Reflection

Is there someone you need to love through action, even if your feelings are struggling? What practical step of love can you take?
