Mark 12:30
And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.The Gospel Herald once printed a story about a little boy who said that he loved his mother “with all his strength.” A reporter asked the boy what he meant by “with all his strength”? He answered, “You see, we live on the fourth floor and our building doesn’t have an elevator, and the coal is kept down in the basement. Since my mother is busy all the time and she isn’t very strong, I see to it that the coal hold is never empty. I haul the coal up four flights of stairs all by myself and it takes all my strength to get it up there.” Love isn’t an ordinary word. Love is an action word that requires effort to portray. Ephesians 5:25 tells us, “And you husbands must love your wives with the same love Christ showed the church. He gave up his life for her.” How much action do you put behind your proclamations of love? Ironically, the amount of action that you put behind your love tells you about how much you value that which you love. In the simplest of terms, if you really love something or someone, your actions will speak louder than your words.
