"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?
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth."
1 John 3:17-18
This is a good reminder that God's love isn't just about how we feel, but what we do. Part of the whole challenge of mortality thing, trying to unite soul and body, to get the flesh to follow the lead of the spirit. ... Today, let's follow through on our feelings of compassion and promptings to care for others, and do what we can to relieve other people's suffering. Helping our fellow beings is helping God, and making the world, and our own lives better in the process.
