Why actions speak louder than words

Have you ever given thought to what draws a moth to the light, bee to nectar, fish to the water, dog to a bone, people to love?  Within our DNA is knitted the need to love, beloved and nurtured.  A moth is not drawn to the flame that destroys it, rather to the light.  Have you ever noticed that a bee will only drink the nectar from a flower that is open wide, a bit like people are drawn to kindness that is shown to them.

​Kindness is a invitation and is understood because love resides in each of us.  Many try to camouflage love with words, yet truth is seen and experienced through the actions that follow.  When someone tells you they love you, test it before you get too close.  

Always keep in mind, engrave it on your heart not all that things that glitter is gold, just as not all who say 'I love you' mean it from the heart or will express it with kindness. Love does not hurt, does not boast, does not envy, does not dishonour, is not self-seeking, is not easily angered, keeps no record of wrongs - in essence love does no harm,

Don't get me wrong we can be hurt from loving someone, when they don't love us back the way we expect them to or the way we understand love.....; but love does not cause shame, fear or guilt.  If you are drawn to someone who is hurting you; be it physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, socially... its time for you to consider why you are drawn to the flame that you know is causing you pain.  It is possible that you don't believe you deserve love or you may have a misrepresented view of love.  

​One way to test if something is genuine is to engage with our senses.  Does what you see, compliment what you hear and what you feel?  Is the charming words adding flavour to the behaviour that follows and is it long lasting or short lived?  Keep in mind language can be behaviour and behaviour is can extension and expression of words, the two must compliment each other.  ​
