love undeniable

‘If I have faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.’ I Corinthians 13:2

I pray and trust you slept well last night

I did – and wanted to get this post up before I am up and out of the door

We are in the homestretch of our love month – undeniably near the end

Yet true love is undeniable and unending

 

I was watching a series on Netflix last night … and into this morning

And in this Korean drama, the lead character ends up getting shot

Not very romantic, right?

It is not romantic – but the reason he took the bullet is truly romantic

He jumped in the way of a gun that was pointed at the leading lady

He almost died as a result of his injuries

Yet, there was something interesting about his actions; his actions were not consistent with his words –

Up until that point (and following that incident), he kept denying that he had feelings for her – vehemently denying any feelings for her

Yet, the thing about love is that love is undeniable – the heart betrays the mind

Now, I know it was just a movie

But there are people who go to such extremes – in their love and their protection of those they love.  We have a living example in the sacrifice Jesus made for us:

‘Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.’ John 15:13

I said it in one of our other posts that love will make you do some things

‘Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.’ James 2:15-17

Now we know faith is a strong thing

However, we also know from Scripture that love is even greater than faith

So, where is the profit in a man who claims to have ‘love’ if there is no corresponding action?

Whether you are proclaiming love or denying it, your actions will always be ‘the tell’

Couples could tell you of undeniable declarations of love evidenced by actions

Parents can certainly tell of and show their undeniable love for their children

The point is  that love, true love, is undeniable

It speaks even when it wishes to remain silent

It moves when it desires to be uninvolved and removed

 

Today –

As we think about undeniable love, let us exam ourselves

What are we proving about love?

It matters even more than what we are saying about love – and it is undeniable

 

Have a Blessed Day!
