I LOVE YOU

It's eazy to say "I love you," especially when we want something from another. The words just fall off our tongues, never even going through our brains on the way. You can fool a lot of people into believing those words, too, at least until your actions prove otherwise.
Peopl who have been brought up to love generously can be guilty of using those three words inappropriately, too. There are a lot of huggy-kissy people who would be well advised to keep their distance until others can see if their words are backed up by their lives.

My childern,
let us not love in word or in tongue,
but in deed and in truth.
1 john 3:18
