ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

Father, I am giving you all the glory on this blessed morning in Christ for the gift of life! I am grateful for your agape love.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning routine, they ensure that they praise you and uplift your holy name for your continued grace and mercy. They know that there is no one on earth that can compare with the love that you have for all. However, there are many who allow wealth and possessions to become their god. They begin to separate themselves from family and friends who are not as fortunate as they are, treating them as peasants because they now fall below their standards of living.

Father, help all to examine themselves daily to determine if they are a true representation of you or not. Help them to understand that actions speak louder than words.

“But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.” 1 John 3:17–18
