What does it mean to love?

It's very easy to talk love but what do you when it's time to put love into action?

When it's 3 o'clock in the morning and the baby's crying again, do you pretend that your asleep and wait for your wife to get up to take care of the baby?

When your friend is homeless, do you let them crash at your place until they can get back up on their feet again? Or are you more concerned about what your peeps would think or say? Or are you worried about how you'll get your friend to leave once you let them stay?

When your friend has no food or bus fare, are you willing to surrender the money that you planned to use to pay for your concert tickets or your new outfit?

Are you really a friend (or just saying so)?

When times are tough for your friends, can they count on you? Are you there to support them in every possible way? at the same time, holding them accountable, sensitively, sensibly, respectfully and in love and not becoming codependent.

"A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity."
Proverbs 17:17 KJV
