love known

Jn 14:27-31

"The world must know that I love the Father and that I do just as the Father commanded"

How do you know you are loved?
What speaks volumes when love is the conversation?

We know love through our senses.  We see it; we taste it; we touch it; we hear it.

Love is not known by words,  it is known most properly by actions, by the way life is lived out.   Words spoken are meant to be secondary, mere description of what has already been revealed in action. 

Jesus reveal his love for the Father by honoring him with his life of fidelity, "let this be your will."

He stretches his arms across the beam of the cross for the world to see just what love can do.

You say you love the Father, show me your hands and then I shall see the true love in progress.
