James 3:13
Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
Let my words demonstrate what I will do.
Allow my actions to my words prove.
You are the Word in me strong.
Allow my actions to cause another’s heart to burst out in song.
Actions Speak Louder than Words
Louder than what you say is what you do;
To profess without works is untruth.
To say you love your neighbor and to walk away in their need
Is to expect a harvest without planting a seed.
To say you care for the sad, the lonely, and afraid,
Without cheering them is like offering a cake unbaked.
To say you will pray and then you forget,
Is like promising to get clean without getting wet.
If you say, I will help – I will do this or that,
But instead you do not, what good is in the act?
Words that are kind and generous are never to be laid aside;
But words that uplift should always remain alive.
The one that truly loves will water what is sown.
Words need action; they do not stand-alone.
Make sure to take the time,
To do the generous thing in mind.
When you love in word and in actions as well,
A great work will be accomplished that God’s glory tells.
Jesus did what He said, and He said what He did,
You must do the same, for you are the body and He is the head.
Words speak loud, but not as loud as the deed done.
This is truth from the Father, Spirit and the Son.
Prayer
I desire to do as Jesus did. I follow in His footsteps, with His strength and ability to do as the Word has shown. Faith without works I know is dead.
