Is love a feeling? Or is love something you do? Is it both? Can you love someone without feeling like you love them? If all you do is feel like you love someone, does that make it true? Okay, maybe these just seem like hypothetical questions that don't really matter, but I promise they do! When it comes to our families (or anyone who's occasionally hard to love) we need to talk about what we're talking about when we say we "love" them. 

See, love is at the core of who we are called to be as followers of Jesus. It's not just a feeling. It's a choice. Look at God for example. God didn't just say "I feel love for you." God said "I love you" by coming to earth as a person named Jesus and proving He loved us with His actions. That's what we're called to do for each other too — to love with our actions. In God's family, we love each other.

What is the difference between feeling love and acting in love?
