More Than Words.

So here lately i have had a tendency of taking secular music and turning it into worship music. By this i mean, i hear lyrics and so many of them can be related to our relationship with God. So tonight as i was driving to Vinton i heard the song More than words. A song that i have heard many times throughout the years. But the first stanza of the song goes like this...

Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
Its not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldnt have to say that you love me
Cos Id already know

Immediately my mind went to my relationship with God. This song really convicted me about where i had been spending time lately. God doesnt want me to just tell him I love him. What good are my words, if my actions don't back it up? I know that our faith is not "works" based, but you can't just tell God you love him, and live your life like the exact opposite. When was the last time you sat down and spent time with God? Just prayed and had a conversation with Him. Or sat down and read His word? What are your actions saying about the love that you have for Him? When was the last time you layed something down in your life so that you can spend time with God?
