If one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and well fed", but does nothing... ...faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. James 2:16-17 NIV Words are important. They can bring healing and life. But In this case they are the barrier. They're a barrier that has kept someone at arm's length. Sometimes I say those words out loud, and sometimes just in my head. "Someone else can do that" "Isn't that their job" "That could get disruptive" "Inconvenient" *shrugs shoulders* I have new neighbors. "I'll go meet them when I have more time. Probably doesn't suit them now" My nice words in my head created a barrier. What does James nudge us to? Action Deeds Step towards. Faith in action steps towards. Love does not put up barriers. Love steps towards. Is there someone on your heart you need to step towards? #james #james2 #Godsgym #steptowards #faithinaction
