36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Matthew 22:36-40
34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
John 13:34-35
But how exactly do we do that. What actions and gestures can we use to show love.
It seems that our actions come from 3 places
- The Holy Spirit. Love. Joy. Happiness
- The evil one. Anger. Pride. Envy
- Neutral. Such as work/business related communication
And so i wanted to make up a list of loving actions we can use with others
- Making love to your husband or wife
- Actually saying "i love you"
- Just calling up or even texting to say hi, happy b'day or xmas or something like that
- Caring for someone when they're sick
- Cooking for loved ones is an action of love
- Eating, complimenting and appreciating that food that was prepared out of love (return love)
- Kiss, hug, handshake. (Not a business handshake)
- Working for your family
- Gifts, holidays
- Helping someone in need
And i kind of get stuck...
What else is there...
How else can i show love to another person
- I guess even saying good morning can be an act of love.
- Wishing someone all the best and asking for Gods blessing
- Just being in ones company can be an act of love.
What else guys.
Help me out here please.
I want new ways to express love.
How else can we love people like Jesus told us to?
