John 14:21-24

Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him

That's the truth, plain and simple.
"Don't you just love this pudding?"
"Yes, though I wish you wouldn't use that word  so loosely. I mean, you don't have to love everything. It OK to just like some things."
"And I like green beans. However, I love banana pudding."
"I know. But can you truthfully say you love the one who prepared it for you?"

Lord, I want to obey you, teach me how.
