Act!

# Chapter 204

What we do matters far more than what we say. Don’t get me wrong, words are powerful and they can be persuasive and important and life changing. They can inform us and teach us and communicate so much to us. Words are important. But they cannot compete with actions.

One action of kindness is so much more meaningful than 100 words of kindness. One action of love means so much more than 100’s of love words. One action of help is way more powerful than 100’s of words about help. People are going to judge us by both our words and deeds, but they are going to judge us far more harshly by our actions. Those are events by which we can even be held in judgement in courts of law! These are the events in our lives that God will hold us accountable.

As I read over this, I realize that it sounds like I am warning you to not act, but quite the contrary. I am advocating that your actions are 100 times more important than your words and that we should take action 100 times more than we speak. Be people of action, and then your words will need to be few.
