than silver and gold.

• My dear children, let’s not just talk about love; let’s practice real love. This is the only way we’ll know we’re living truly, living in God’s reality. (TLB)

• Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions. (NLT)

– What Love does?• Caring for another

– I John 3:16-17  Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

– Dorcas, or Tabitha

– Paul
