Does Love call Action to support its Claims?

Action always speaks louder than Words!

What if someone told you I LOVE YOU! and continued to do things that were totally contrary to their confession. When you needed them the most they were not available and discarded the importance of your situation at hand. Their unloving acts if put on a scale continued to outweigh their loving words towards you. With all this said you start to come to the realization " How can he or she say to me I love you and continue to treat me with no respect whatsoever?" Well if this is occurring in your personal life you must redefine what love is and how it's suppose to look like, how you might ask, through the word of God. There is a definition out there of Love which the world, the media and those who live by their own rules and regulations have embedded in our thinking and its time we expose it for what it truly is, a convenient and selfish way to love which eliminates self sacrifice and commitment to the individual we decide to make a part of our lives. We must understand that love is a verb, an action word and it demands action from the participant. Yes emotions and feelings are a part of love but at times they cannot be trusted, only the commitment we make will fuel our love and allow it to reach places that we never imagined possible.

Wonderful and true, thanks for sharing, I have thought this many times.. and have been taken down the road you speak of, often questioning myself, wondering why my love is still there, when I am being treated in such a poor way.. I figured it out.. it was simply that I allowed it.. when I stopped allowing it, they would be gone and I would have to deal with the loss, even worse I would have to admit that they did not really love me and I was a fool for caring to begin with, so many suffer with loss and abandonment they create a love based on grief.. sad. but true.. when you speak up things change and if they were not working that ought to be a good thing, but people do not like change it brings about the unknown.. better to know or think you do.. than have to start again not knowing a thing.. so funny our need to control.. not love.. we have forgotten what love is.. Cheers and thanks again for this hub..voting up

wonderful hub. voted up and shared. true love is loving someone even when they hate you. it is seeking the happiness of those you claim to love above your own. true love accepts others for themselves and does not seek to change them to suit yourself. true love can be very difficult, but also very worth it.

Loladusk, good observation, our allowance of someone treating us any kind of way is what happens when we are part of a unhealthy relationship and we must hold ourselves accountable for that. But why? Why do we allow someone to treat us without the respect we deserve as a human being? I believe that we have lost our true image and we struggle with another which truly does not belong to us. We must redefine ourselves each and every day with the truth.

tlmcgaa70, you have given me a beautiful definition of how love is suppose to function. I agree with you a 100 percent.
