love vs. words, happy christmas

words, what exactly are they? they are a basic way of communication, possibly the second best way to communicate. whats the first then? well, i think love. what is love? as dictionary.com puts it, "the benevolent affection of God for His creatures, or the reverent affection due from them to God."
as christians, isn't this what our entire life is based upon? being a light of Christ, nothing more, nothing less. we can say things through words, but act in other ways, that are not loving. our actions speak louder then our words, straight up. people are not going to see our words in this world, they are going to see our actions.

i think you get the point on the difference.

so, how can we acheive this 'love' thing? by not being a part of this world. we are not governed by the same 'gods' of this world. we need to stand differently; full of love. how are non-believers expected to ever be led to christ if they cannot decipher non-fiction from ficiton, or, christians from the rest of the world.

this is something i am struggling with, especially this holiday season. i am rushing around to find gifts and goodies, and i am not doing simple things such as thanking bus drivers, or giving spare change to those in need. i am to consumed with my own self to even begin to consider other people. this isn't how God told me how to act(refer to definition of love).

this needed to be said; though only in words, it's a step towards a happy holiday filled with Christ!
