Many times we think that we have to buy expensive things to show our love to our friends. All the money in the world will not buy love; love comes from the heart. The best ways to show your love is to pray for your friends and give them your time. Joyce Landorf, a well known speaker and author, says on one of her teaching tapes “Someone came up to me and gave me a hug and said “Hi, how are you? I’ve got to rush. Bye” Joyce said “Well, that’s not enough!” She said that we need to spend time with our loved ones and friends.
Through the years my sister has bought me so many beautiful and expensive things, but if she didn’t give me her time, it wouldn’t mean anything to me. The love behind the time she gives me is what matters to me. Her love will remain in my heart for Eternity. She is a very busy person and has some health problems where she doesn’t always feel like doing things or giving me her time, but she does it anyway.
Many times we can show our love in little things. I personally know of marriages where they actually have a fight over the remote control for the television. O friends, how can we possibly love each other if we fight over the television! We need to shut the television off if it is causing problems in our marriages. More than that, we need to get it out of our homes.
The time we spend fighting over what we watch on television could be spent telling people of the Love of Jesus. Have we allowed the television to become an idol to us? May God forgive us for breaking His Heart!
