“Well done is better than well said.”
“The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”
“Talk is cheap.”
~*~*~
However you say it,
words without action mean nothing;
intentions without follow through mean nothing;
promises without promise keepers mean nothing.
Words are easy; actions are hard.
Say it — Do it — Be it!
~*~*~
Communication begins with words.
It does not end there.
Communication with only words seldom communicates anything,
especially if the words do not match the actions.
At least, it seldom communicates what the speaker hoped.
~*~*~
When we stand behind our words:
Others hear that we mean what we say.
Others hear that we have integrity.
Others hear that this person is trustworthy.
Others hear the intent of the heart,
because it has not been divorced from right action.
~*~*~
God wants us to stand behind our words to Him.
He always stands beside His to us.
Don’t say, “I love You.” when you don’t obey.
Don’t say, “I love Your Word.” when you don’t read it.
Don’t say, “I love Your people.” when you don’t show compassion.
Don’t say, “I trust You.” when you continue to doubt.
~*~*~
The words you speak my reflect what is in your heart, But the actions you take prove what is in your heart.

Well done !! 🙂
I do agree our words reflect our heart. I’ve been caught out a few times, with that…

Talk is cheap, but it is also expensive. Think about. Things are easily said that harm and take people on a path far away from God. James warns about that. Amazing.

Very true. When we talk about our speech/tongue, we have to remember the other side of the coin too. I have seen people devastated by the tongue – it is a wicked thing.

Yes very True Angie, Love is an action not just a word, God even tells us to take an interest in what interests others and not half heartedly but of course He is meaning Godly things and we are also to do for others as we would like them to do for us , sadly some have only eyes for what they want for themselves.
Good message thank you.
Christian Love from both of us — Anne
