Text:  1 John 2:1-14
Title:  Actions Speak Louder than Words
Theme:  As we abide in the love of God, there is a natural outcome that occurs: that love is shared with others.  If we are having a hard time loving someone in our lives, it might be because we're having a hard time letting God love us (or letting that love penetrate deep in our hearts).  If we know God's love, and it is setting roots into our hearts, then we will naturally love others - even the ones who are hard to love.
