Do Your Actions Prove Your Words?

You know, it is so easy to throw around words. We can say what is right when we need to. We tweet, text, and post status that all sound good. Most people can make themselves look pretty good with words, even if that means telling lies. We can pass of lies easily if and when we want to.

I've shared numerous testimonies about myself on this blog. If this blog is all you know about me, you might be impressed or not. Hopefully you take what I have written for what God intended and not for the image of me. If you follow my Blog, my hope is that you will discover God's truths through it.

Here is what I am trying to get at. I once was taking care of a drug addict and I was sharing my testimony with him. when I was finished he said this. "I believe you." I though OK good I wanted you to believe me. Then he said "Do you want to know whyI believe you?" "Yes I do want to know why." He then said this, "The proof of your hearts desires are in your actions, not your words. You have shown me by your actions that you are telling the the truth. You treat me different that most people, I can tell you care. " He accepted Christ that day as His Lord and savior because my actions proved God's truth.

Words are important, and we need to use them. Words can reveal a lot of good things about your faith. Just a few short words can destroy your testimony in an instant. But the real proof of your faith is not in words, it is in your actions. Jesus even said "Don't tell them, go show them." My challenge to you, Don't tell them, go show them.

Make sure your actions prove your words.

Matthew 8:3-4 Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!" Immediately he was cured of his leprosy.4 Then Jesus said to him, "See that you don't tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."

May my life be the proof and evidence of His love!
