Speaking of the love of God, Jesus said,
“If you love Me obey My commands.”
John 14:15 NLT
The writer of 1 John said,
“This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out His commands. In fact, this is love for God: to keep His commands. And His commands are not burdensome.”
1 John 5:2 & 3 NIV
This morning the Lord spoke to me, saying,
If He commands us to be still, we must be still.
If He commands us to have faith, we must have faith.
If He commands us to be of good cheer, we must be of good cheer.
If He commands us to wait, we must wait.
If He commands us to love, we must love.
He is the God of all compassion.
He is a merciful Saviour, not a tiresome friend.
