Love needs expression

A God explainable is not really God.

Many people feel anything but spritual when they hit bottom. Their misery is often reinforced by Christians who take a very shortsighted view of what the sufferer is going through and why. But our heavenly father is well-pleased with what He intends to bring out of such a painful process. A person who knows that the secret of God-dependent life can say, "Itis good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn Your statuts" - Joanie Yoder

Genuine caring reaches beyond feelings to action. Caring, like steam or electricity, isn't worth much unless something happens as a result of it. Love without deeds doesn't really exist, just as talent not demenstrated in creative ways doesn't really exist. Both must be expressed or they are a myth.

If you want to be a loving person, don't start by taking on the needs of the world. Because we can't do everything, we often don't do anything. Start with caring about one person and build from there. You can't do everything, but you can do something. What you can do, you should do. Today, determine that in the power and grace of God you will do it. -- Haddon Robinson
