Love is an Action Verb

February 27, 2015

“Jesus repeated the question: ‘Simon son of John, do you love me?’ “Yes, Lord,” Peter said, “you know I love you.” ‘Then take care of my sheep,’ Jesus said .” – John 21:16

These are actually the lyrics from a praise song that was sent to me by someone very close to me. It’s short, but profound. Ask yourself the questions it poses, and it will probably help you determine the depth of your relationship with Jesus Christ.

Did you think of Me today,
Did you take the time to pray,
Do you love Me?

Did you share Me with someone,
In your life is there a song,
Do you love Me?

Is there peace in your soul,
Have you given Me control,
My commands did you obey,
Do you love Me?
