Daily Reflection

Manatu Taua

True love is proven by what it gives, not by what it says.

O le alofa moni e fa'ailoa i le foa'i, e lē na o upu.

Scriptural Context / Va'aiga Fa'aletusi Pa'ia

Jesus spoke these words to Nicodemus, a Pharisee who came at night. The verse shows God's love through the giving of His Son, so that whoever believes may have eternal life.

Na fai atu Iesu nei upu ia Nikotemo, o se ali'i Fariseo na sau i le po. Ua fa'ailoa mai e le fuaiupu le alofa o le Atua e ala i le foa'iina mai o lona Atali'i, ina ia maua e lē e fa'atuatua le ola e fa'avavau.

Practical Application / Fa'aoga i le Olaga

The verse shows God's love through the giving of His Son. Today, choose one person to give something to with no expectation of repayment. Let that gift be a response to the love God has shown.

Ua fa'ailoa mai e le fuaiupu le alofa o le Atua i le foa'iina mai o lona Atali'i. I lenei aso, filifili se tasi e te foa'i atu i ai se mea e aunoa ma le fa'amoemoe e toe totogi mai. Ia avea le foa'i ma tali atu i le alofa ua fa'ailoa mai e le Atua.
