Do you love me?

"Regardless, they all demonstrated that the power of love is matched only by the power of the written word"

I've been thinking over the last few days of the significance of this line from my last post. I really wish I could find who wrote it. I find it so fascinating the manner in which they write about love letters in that the power behind the action is matched by the power of what has been said.

With people generally this isn't the case. We often hear

"our actions need to line up with our words", or

"I can't hear what you're saying because what you are doing is screaming so much louder," or

"Don't tell me you love me, show me!"

Why?

I believe that even though we are made in the image and likeness of God, we have all sinned and are fallen. So what we say has so much power, yet we often make the mistake of not being consistent between our action and our word.

How great is God that His love IS matched by His word. "God is not a man that He should lie." We read all about how much God loves us in His "LOVE LETTER" to us; the Bible.

The crazy thing is the love letter was written after the event. God told us how much He loved us, showed us how much He loved us, then Wrote how much He loved us...

Interesting thought, can't say I've ever done it in that order...
