What is the absolute best
way to love? Is it constantly saying “I love you” or is some
action involved? As my answer to the question “Which is better,
idealism or realism?” is a little of both, I say the same thing
here. A little of both. Saying “I love you” affirms the actions
of loving someone. How can I possibly tell someone I love them if I
don't pray for them and don't keep in touch with them or at least
don't try. Someone can be on my heart and if I don't obey that
feeling then do I truly love them? Perhaps not. (1 John 3:18) I think
this goes in saying as Jesus did in Matthew 7:9-11 that if a son asks
his father for bread the father gives him a stone that is truly not
love. At the same time all of us need the affirmation of hearing “I
love you”, which is why we have John 3:16.
