The word “love” is not an emotion. It is not what you say; love is what you do. In the mind of Christ, love is measured by what you do or what you do not do. Our lives are shaped by those who love us and by those who refuse to love us. Without love, you do not have the ability to make a contribution to anyone’s life. Love does not boast and always has g...
