Dear children, let us not love
with words or tongue
but with actions and in truth¹
Let us love with hands that heal
and feet that go
where we are needed most
Let us love with our gifts
of food and clothing
for those in poverty
Let us love with kind words
that offer compassion
and restore relationships
Let us love as Jesus loved
willing to give all
that others might know His love
¹1 John 3:18 (NIV)
