Reflection

“Children, let us love not in word or speech but in deed and truth.” –1 John 3:18

Prayer

God of action and truth,

Our culture is prone to indulge in empty speech, lacking in purpose and action. Yet let it be different among us, as we commit ourselves to a higher standard of integrity. May we reveal your love for all those we encounter, not just in what we say but even more in what we do. Let our actions speak louder than words, bearing witness to the sincerity of our purpose and mission, as we extend your compassionate love to all those who are vulnerable. Amen.

Call to Action

Be mindful of the way my words do or do not align with my actions today. Adjust as needed, for the sake of bringing good help to others, in deed and truth.
