The Best Expression of Love is Time.....................
The importance of things can be measured by how
much time we are willing to invest in them. The
more time you give to something, the more you
reveal its importance and value to you. If you want
to know a person's priorities, just look at how they
use their time.

Time is your most precious gift because you only
have a set amount of it. You can make more
money, but you can't make more time. When you
give someone your time, you are giving them a
portion of your life that you'll never get back. Your
time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you
can give someone is your time.

It is not enough just to say relationships are
important; we must prove it by investing time in
them. Words alone are worthless. My children, our
love should not be just words and talk; it must be
true love, which shows itself in action.(1John 3:18)
Relationships take time and effort, and the best
way to spell love is T-I-M-E.

The essence of love is not what we think or do or
provide for others, but how much we give of
ourselves. Men, in particular, often don't
understand this. Many have said to me, I don't
understand my wife and kids. I provide everything
they need. What more could they want? They want
you! Your eyes, your ears, your attention, your
presence, your focus--your time. Nothing can take
the place of that.

The most desired gift of love is not diamonds or
roses or chocolate. It is focused attention. Love
concentrates so intently on another that you forget
yourself at that moment. Attention says that value
you enough to give you my most precious asset,
your time. Whenever you give your time, you are
making a sacrifice, and sacrifice is the essence of
love. Jesus modeled this: the full of love of others,
following the example of Christ who loved you and
gave himself to God as a sacrifice to take away
your sins.(Ephesians 5:2)

You can give without loving, but you cannot love
without giving. Love means giving up. Yielding my
preferences, comfort, goals, security, money,
energy, or time for the benefit of someone else.

THE BEST TIME TO LOVE IS NOW

Why is now the best time to express love?
Because you don't know how long you will have
the opportunity.
Circumstances change.
People die.
Children grow up.
You have no guarantee of tomorrow.
The best use of life is love.
The best expression of love is time.
The best time to love is NOW!
