Someone can show you an act of love excitedly, yet not from a heart of love. However, whoever has a heart of love will often demonstrate acts of love without struggle. Many have been trapped in pain-coated and toxic relationships today because they mistook an act of love for a heart of love. These two are distinctively different; one is a virtue while the other is sometimes a tactic.

This goes to say that niceness is not a hallmark of sincerity or true love. So, before celebrating people’s acts of love, hold back a little and ascertain their source: is it from a heart of love or is it a ploy to achieve some selfish goals to the detriment of the target? Amnon only wanted to express an act of love toward Tamar, but he had no iota of a heart of love for her.

Often, people fall victim to the wrong relationships and regrettable marriages because their predators have mastered how to use acts of kindness or love to distract them from who they are. Never excuse anyone with a bad character or disturbing attitudes because they are full of acts of love and kind gestures. This is the pattern of relationship predators and opportunists, which the majority of their unsuspecting and naive victims are not mindful of.

Judas used the act of love to actualise his deeply concocted betrayal plan against our Lord Jesus—a kiss. One sure way not to mistake or misinterpret an act of love for a heart of love is to first possess a heart of love yourself and distance yourself from those who do not highly value a heart of love above pious acts.

RECENT, What has Worked for Us?

As much as it depends on you, relate with people who have tested positive character and express it in their views about relationships, systems, and life—selfless, empathetic, and wholesome perspectives. This category of people is most likely to love out of a heart of love rather than mere displays of kindness and emotional acts. A heart of love is character- and purpose-driven, whereas some acts of love may just be offshoots of certain emotions or sentiments. Kindness is not always the mark of true love. But love is kind.
