"Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth." -I John 3:18 (NIV)
Dealing with children and young adults, or people in general, we know that their actions are often the result of a need for attention. We can become upset by the actions or we can choose to address the deeper cause of the behavior. To move forward, the best course of action is found in God's love and truth!
God calls us to be His children and to act in the His ways. He is willing to teach and train us. He gives us His love. He disciplines us and allows us to learn His Truth. Knowing and following God is the first step in our journey. After we know God and commit to Him, we then need to act. We need to respond to others in ways that show love and that are rooted in the truth. As we act out for God, we can allow others to see His glory!
Act out in ways that show God's love, truth, and glory!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for teaching me. Help me to act in ways that show Your love and truth. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
