Actions Speak Louder

Yesterday I was discussing a previous FCC message about the love words that husbands and wives use with one another. After reading my message our church secretary stated:"That's a good message, but actions also speak louder than words"!

Well as I thought about it, I decided to make this a part II to my previous message on love words. As I prayed about this message I was led to: 

James 1:23-25 ESVFor if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.

So as we go forward this day and speak words of love to our spouses, let us also understand that we must act on the words of love that we speak. Words are nothing unless they can be backed up with the affection and promises that the words convey.

My prayer for us all this day is that when we refer to our spouses as honey,baby,or dear, or sweetheart, we develop ways and actions to make our words truthful as well as endearing.

God's Many Blessings
