Active Love

I preached last week about "active love."  We love God, and we translate that love into an active response.  He loves us, so he demonstrates that love through his actions.

How do I know my husband loves me?  He tells me, often, but this evening, he worked with me at church, cutting fabric into strips and stapling it to clothes line for a line of streamers for Pentecost.  We did this for a few HOURS.  He loves me -- why else would he spend time doing this?
