Actions of Love

What are Actions of Love? Most of us have experienced Actions of Love as a child or tough love from our parents. When we were kids many times our parents gave of Actions of Love to help us grow into adults with the needed wisdom to sustain life.  They taught us that if we disobey; we must accept the consequences of our actions and not try to blame our sibling. They taught us that being is good will in the long term give us good things and being bad or disobedient, will bring us what we don't want.  Punishment of some kind, discipline we wish we did not have to experience.

We had to be taught how to live, love and care about others. We were disciplined when we were greedy, misbehaved or just plain naughty. We were taught to respect, honor and obey. We had to learn that life does not give us anything but we all have opportunity to work, learn and grow.  We learned early on that we must work hard for what we have and that life is filled with the unknown and there is not anyone who doesn't experience difficult times. We had to learn that we can't have everything we want or desire and that we must make the best of what we have.  What went wrong with some of us? 

Actions of love; sometimes called tough love, is part of growing into adulthood with the right ideas about how to life a successful life and if we have not; we have missed out on the most essential part of life lessons.  If we have not been taught the basics of life or have not heeded to those principles; our life will more than likely be very difficult.  Why?  Because the basics are that we must have compassion for others, be willing to share life's blessing, and promote others instead of being jealous. We must have learned that no one has it all.  Not even the most wealthy. You might note that the rich seem to miss knowing what real happiness is.  They get caught up in their ability to have what they want, go where they please and are never satisfied with anything for long.  That is not truly living...not really.

We would never be worth anything great without learning that we must sometimes feel deprived, we learn that everything we want just might not be what we need. We should have learned that a man/women's character is worth more than the money that is in the bank.  We should have learned that integrity is by far the ultimate quality to obtain respect and admiration in the work place. 

All Actions of Love, tough love are when our parents told us no when it made us so mad we could bite a nail into.  Actions of Love in adulthood are when life itself says no; that is not what you need.  All of our plans are going to work out like we want...it is for our good most of the time.  We want what we think we want without consideration of the consequences a lot of the time and then....we forget that we must accept responsibility for our actions always.  We don't like it...but that is God's tough love.
