                      Truth#4

I Love You’ Is More Than a Sentence

Love is not in word or lip, it is in deed and in truth. Anyone can say ‘’I love you’’ but
not everyone can mean it. It is cheap to say ‘’I love you’’, but it is difficult to mean
it. ‘’I love you’’ contained three words that forms a sentence but the truth of love is that
it can never be captured in one statement (1 Cor. 13). There are several ‘’I love you’’ that
are products of feelings but very few are practical demonstration of selfless service that
stems out of a sincere motive.
A man can beat a woman mercilessly and afterwards, apologize, care for her and hug
her tightly and say ‘’I love you’’; but this doesn’t mean he won’t do it some other time
when he is angry. Is this love?
It is easy to profess love but it takes determination to express
it when your partner is unlovable. You may not need to
verbalize your love to your spouse or friend, it will be clearly
seen through your act of selfless, sacrificial and unconditional
love which you timely express to them.

 Personal Evaluation...
• Do I mean it when I say ‘’I love you’’ or I say it to have my way or tease others?
