2 John verse 6
“And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the very commandment you have heard from the beginning, that you must walk in love.”
What if love is not what you feel? We talk about love as if it lives in the heart alone. But John tells us that love has feet. It walks. It is an action word! It takes one step after another, in the direction God has marked out. That is why obedience is not the cold cousin of love. Obedience is the very shape that love takes when it puts on shoes.
You cannot truly love God and ignore His voice. You cannot truly love people and live for yourself. The world is not waiting for our speeches about love. It is watching our walk, our actions. Love proven is love practiced, one faithful step at a time.
I’m Lonnie Davis and these are thoughts worth thinking.
Prayer: Father, teach me to walk in love today, one obedient step at a time.
