I wanted to share something that truly touched my heart. One of my YouTube followers left this beautiful and thought-provoking comment — and I just had to pass it on to you.

“I will always remember what our parish priest said:
When we die, God will not ask how many Bible verses we memorized, how deep our theological knowledge was, or which denomination we belonged to.
Instead, He will ask: When I was sick, did you comfort Me? When I was thirsty, did you give Me drink? When I was naked or homeless, did you help Me?
We will be judged by how much we loved — and love is not just a feeling. Love is action. Lots of action.”

Isn’t that powerful? 💭

It really made me pause and reflect. Sometimes we can get caught up in theology, debates, and doctrine — all of which are important because they help us understand and live our faith correctly. But at the end of the day, it’s not about how much we know, but how much we love.

Faith without love is empty. Love without action is incomplete. 💕

As my follower shared, different Christian traditions may express faith differently — but when we comfort the sick, feed the hungry, and pray for those who have gone before us, we live out the heart of Christ’s message.

Theology matters — yes — because it guides us. But love is the greatest of all (1 Corinthians 13:13). It’s what unites us as children of God and reveals His presence in our lives.

So today, let’s remember: our faith is not measured by the words we know, but by the love we show. 🌿
