For the sake of love, mothers serve willingly, with joy.  Dads will risk their lives.  Children will do what they’re told.  Friends will stick by you regardless the outcome.  Strangers will give all they have.  A man will learn to obey the holy commands of God.  Take away love and all these suffer loss.

People often believe that they will be accepted by God by obeying His commands.  But they put the cart before the horse.  We first believe in the forgiveness of Christ.  They we allow that belief to grow.  Soon we see love toward God appear, rooted and healthy.  Then one day, we look around us and see that obedience has been growing.  The order will always be: belief, love, then obedience.  Effortlessly, we become because He is complete.
