One of the hardest lessons I have had
to learning in my life is that people say and do two different
things. I'm one of those rare birds that actually says something,
means it and can back my statement up with facts. I used to take
people at face value, but I've learned (finally) that the proof of
the pudding is in it's eating. People will often times placate you
with pretty words in order to cover up mistakes that they have made,
or tell you wonderful things to stroke your ego only to repeat the
behaviour again. Do not be fooled by empty words, because that is
all they are, hollow, shapeless and void if there is no action to go
with it. Love is an action word, you can not just simply say I love
you with out having something to back it up with. Let me show you I
love you, let me show you I care. Words are just words, sure they
can be pretty, but in actuality that mean nothing.
We assign value to words with our
actions. We also devalue them with our actions. I was taking a late
night stroll on the boardwalk with a friend of mine last night. She
was also struggling with this issue. People are what they do and not
what they say. Be prepared to produce the pudding if asked.
The bible has this to say about loving
someone with words:
John 3:18
Dear children, let us not love with
words or speech but with actions and in truth.
Do not believe what people say, but
rather believe what they do! As always you should follow suit with
it as well. It's not enough to talk the talk, but you must rather
walk the walk instead!
Peace and Love friends.
