Evidence of His love

I have been so inspired by Hilary weeks album and "living proof" is another excellent song.

What does it mean to be living proof and evidence of His love? I think the song says the answer in the next sentence. "He heals, He knows, He gives, He cares, He hears, He shows, He's always there." Are we showing these attributes everyday? These attributes are like Him. Isn't that the goal, to be like Him?

I used to think that being true to myself was expressing every thought and every opinion. This logic was good enough reason to be rude, to put my nose where it didn't belong, and to spout. I was very unhappy and didn't know why. I was being "true" to myself after all.

Much time and many heartaches taught me, really being true to myself didn't always come in being an open book. It also came in the times I had enough respect, enough love, and enough kindness to keep my mouth shut. The truth is that my true self wants to give unwavering support, give enough love to heal hurtful words, and to look back at my words and not regret one of them. This is real joy. It seems so simple now.

So I want to show the evidence of His love. I want to show it through my words and my actions.
