Beyond Candy Hearts: A Love That Acts

Dear Friends,
The day after Christmas, I had to run into CVS. The displays of candy had already changed from the silver and gold of Christmas treats to the red heart-shaped boxes of chocolate. The annual commercial celebration of love had begun. Fortunately, we have a foundation of love that is more than once a year confections.
Within the Christian faith, love is not only something we feel; it is something we do. In the life of faith, love takes on meaning when we speak up for justice, dignity, and fairness for all people. Scripture calls us to care for the vulnerable, to welcome the stranger, and to seek the common good. To love our neighbors is to insist that every person is treated with dignity and that the systems shaping our shared life reflect compassion, equity, and truth. For many of us in the church, this means recognizing that love cannot remain silent in the face of injustice and we are inspired to walk the walk and take action.
Speaking up is not always easy, but it is a faithful response to the gospel. We are called to be Christians, not just in the sanctuary but in the world. When we use our voices in the public square, we are practicing love in its most courageous form. We do this humbly, prayerfully, and together—trusting that God’s Spirit is at work through our words and actions. May our church continue to be a place where love is not passive, but active; not quiet, but courageous; and always rooted in justice, mercy, and hope. This is the kind of love is still strong, long after the candy boxes are empty.
With you on the Journey,
Rev. Jen
