Do we feel the tug at our hearts? Are we being forced to define our stance, making it impossible to reside on the fence of complicity and comfort? Can we maintain the position of simply watching as the world begins to cascade into whirlpool? What is belief if not followed by defining character and action?
Look not everyone needs to do anything or take a stance for righteousness, but isn’t doing so acknowledging the choice between those who believe unto action and those who never believed at all? I don’t want to be known as one who stood by and could have taken action but was risk adverse as I found action inconsistent with my personal planning.
To Love isn’t simply a statement it requires the commensurate actions of Love that truly define its existence. I can tell someone I love them to get what I need from the relationship and then watch them wither away in poor health, hunger or depression effectively negating that love or defining its nonexistence.
Is there a measurement of requisite action necessary to prove Love? Well I don’t know but Jesus’ Does and will lead us into that perfect understanding through relationship with His Holy Spirit and Belief upon the Word and Promise. Perhaps asking someone what they need in Love and then adjusting that through Prayer and realistic provision is a good start.
I don’t want to simply have roommates. I want family. Why, because family surpasses that requirement for love of which we’ve spoken. Family is not an accident it is a commitment to join in tandem against the amazing trials each of us will face. Family uses the equipment of love to rise above many of these examinations and prevails together where many go it alone.
I cannot chose your choices, they are yours alone to make and either rejoice in the positive outcomes or rejoice in the impacts of inaction, wrong action or folly. What I can offer is to love you throughout either. That is love to face whatever comes together in one commitment to make it to the other side of each storm and blessing.
