"If you love me, you will obey what I command."
John 14:15
Just some thoughts on the verse.
Sometimes we get it the other way round.
Unknowingly we read the verse and then think, "If I obey Jesus' command, it will prove that I love him."
Which is only a half-truth.
Obeying the Lord's commands shows that we love him, but it could end up as a law unto itself.
Do what you must, but never forget that love flows from the inside out.
You can do a lot of things out of obligation, but never really because of love, whether as a choice accompanied by emotions or not.
