More than Words

Your actions tell me all I need to know.  I know when you are hurting, I know when you are sad, I know when the anger overtakes your being, I know when you feel loved.  Words carry only so much weight, action tell the entire story.  This is why I have given you the gift of faith, these are actions of the heart, the playground of the soul.  With every action of faith there is love, My love, My love for you multiplying by the second.  I need you to know that I live through your actions, I offer myself to others through your actions; people see Me because of your actions.  Make sure your actions are pure, based upon faith, ignited in love.  Your thoughts, your words, both a circus of humanity, like reaching for dangling carrot never to be obtained for both the object of pride.  Think not about your words, think, rather, about your actions an make sure each reflects My love, reflects My concern and compassion for humanity. I dwell within you as I dwell within all of My creation.  The love that you know is the love that I give, the love that you must accept so that you may share with each of your actions.  Let not worry build up in your mind that you become preoccupied with worldly projections, with laborious thoughts.  Concede to the heart and let faith be your compass, your guide, your excitement; love will be all you know, all you see, all you hear, all you feel.  This world was created in love, to know love, to be love, Love which begins with your actions.  Be more than words, be action, be faith, be love that others may see, may hear, may feel love’s truths and react with actions of compassion and sincerity.  You are so much more than words, more than thoughts for you are love in the flesh, My love in you.  I don’t need to hear that you love Me, I need to see that you love Me.  Every time you hold the door for a stranger, each time you go out of your way to compliment a coworker, every time you give without expecting something in return, I see your love for Me.  Act with mercy, act in kindness, act as though love is extinct because it sure seems it some days but you can be the love lost; you can be hope for the despairing with one single action of kindness.  All I need you to do is accept My love, challenge your pride and live the faith I have gifted to you.  In this day, in this world, I know this request is a huge undertaking for faith and love are look upon as weaknesses, look upon as detrimental to the societal norm.  Look within, see My love, see My closeness to you, know that in every action I am present, I am looking to illuminate love.  Be My vessel, be the action which many shy away from: be kindness, be compassion, be love, be understanding, be mercy and the strength which people seek will already dwell within you.  Strength is a product of compassionate, faith-filled action, not brutality, not pride, not ego.  I look to you for action as you are now My body, you are now My heart; love as I love, without condition, without anticipation.  Be alive with each step, be faith with each breath, be love with each action.  You have the ability to mark this world in love, show it, action upon it, waste not your time speaking it for the world contains too many pulpits, too may stage actors looking for immediate gratification.  Patience, be patient with others, show them mercy for they have forgotten how to forgive even themselves, then know not the true meaning of love for it has only ever been defined by words, define love now by your actions.  Embrace their position, envelop their pain in your arms swelling with love, be the hope they never knew, be the future they only dreamt.  You are so much more than words, you are My strength, My love, My everything...love as such.  Welcome the stranger, invite the impoverished, console the weary, be love in action, be faith alive.  Your actions tell Me all k need to know, I know you are love, your actions have demonstrated faith infused with your soul. Live as faith, live as love.
