Love in Action

It is very easy to tell someone "I love you" or to post an inspiring quote about love on social media. Words are cheap and take very little effort. However, Biblical love is described much more as a verb than a noun. It is something you do, often when it isn't convenient or when you don't feel like it.

In the original Greek of the New Testament, this kind of love is often called Agape—a selfless, sacrificial love that seeks the best for others. This means that love might look like staying up late to help a classmate with a coding bug, being patient with a difficult client, or simply listening to a friend when you’d rather be gaming. When we choose to act in love, we are reflecting the character of God, who didn't just tell us He loved us, but showed it through the ultimate sacrifice. Today, look for the small, quiet ways to "code" love into your daily interactions through your actions, not just your speech.
