God's Love

Love in Action

"Let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth."
1 John 3:18

Reflection

Saying "I love you" is good. Showing it with what you do is better. Love that never shows up in actions is only an idea.

Prayer

Lord, let my love show in what I do. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. What is the difference between saying and showing love?
  2. How do people at home show love without words?
  3. What loving action can you do today?

5-minute activity

Make a list of "I love you" actions, like setting the table or sharing a toy. Each person picks one to do today without telling anyone. Share at bedtime how it went. Read 1 John 3:18.
