Just an Act?

Does she or doesn’t she?

Sometimes it’s difficult to know if a woman’s hair color is natural or dyed.

I wonder if the preacher really has a full head of hair or if he wears a toupee.

The new member of the garden club is dripping in diamonds. There’s been gossip behind her back; people say the spangles are only glass.

We say we love people…

Is our love authentic or just an act?

It’ easy to say we love family and friends. We dowel love out to those we deem worthy but take it back at the slightest infraction.

If provoked, I can react with vindictiveness and withhold my affection.

LORD, give me authentic love; make me like Christ.

“Love endures with patience and serenity, love is kind and thoughtful, and is not jealous or envious; love does not brag and is not proud or arrogant. It is not rude; it is not self-seeking, it is not provoked [nor overly sensitive and easily angered]; it does not take into account a wrong endured. It does not rejoice at injustice, but rejoices with the truth [when right and truth prevail]. Love bears all things [regardless of what comes], believes all things [looking for the best in each one], hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times], endures all things [without weakening] (1 Corinthians 13:4-7 AMP).”

Do I or don’t I?
