Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and truth. 1 John 3:18
Love in words AND deeds.
Interestingly, this is an excellent example of a verse that could be misused as a sound bite.
The context will not allow us to translate this into, "Do not tell others you love them."
Please encourage one another daily.
Take advantage of this opportunity to love others with words of affirmation, correction, encouragement, and direction.
Yet, make sure that your love isn't "Sending good thoughts your way" when God is directing you to be present, wash the dishes, pick up the trash, check in on your neighbor, forgive (slipped that one in there), and consider others more significant than yourself by your actions.
How can you be more conscious of how to love others better?

As we walk with You, Lord, may Your presence renew our minds, guide our tongues, and strengthen our feet and hands to love others with the love You love us with. Amen
