In order to be able to act we need power from God. That comes through prayer life. God is ready to touch this world through the outreach of our hands. That takes action which is exactly what He yearns to perform through us. Although in one sense the love of a child is passive, it is beautiful to behold.
Action accompanies the love of a mature person because such love is manifested through deeds.
If we possess the highest standard of love, we have the capacity to turn our love into accomplishments. If the love we volunteer is unconditional, we will become the most effective people for God. As yet, our love has not ripened or developed completely. But our capacity grows as our love blossoms. As a person matures spiritually, his love grows.
