In Deed and in Truth

 

 

Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

 

—1 John 3:18 (ESV)

 

 

 

 

Heavenly Father,

 

Let my actions be proof of my love for You and for others.

 

Let my actions show genuine love, not just my words. Fill me with Your love so that everything I say and do reflects true lovingkindness.

Help me to share Your love freely with anyone who needs it, offering it openly with compassionate kindness in every thought, word, and deed.

Guide me to remain humble before You and others, and encourage me to generously use the gifts I have been given to help meet the needs of those searching for real love.

 

Let my actions be proof of my love for You and for others.

 

In the Name of Jesus, Amen. 

Love in Deed and in Truth

 

Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

 

—1 John 3:18 (ESV)

 

 

Heavenly Father,

 

May every deed I do confirm the truth of every word I speak of my love.

 

Don’t allow me to merely talk about my love. Cause Your love to fill my heart and drive my words to produce in me the actions that demonstrate the proof of real love.

 

Don’t allow me to withhold Your love within me from anyone who needs it. Help me give it freely and generously in my every thought, word, and action toward another.

 

Don’t allow me to be any less than humble before you and others. Help me to give the best of what I have been given to meet the need in someone else—that need that cries out for real love.

 

May every deed I do confirm the truth of every word I speak of my love.

 

In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
