Do You Love Him?

Wisdom to Change

If you love Me, keep My commandments. John 14:15


Do we have a heart that says, Lord, I love You? Lord, I want my life to be an example of Your love. I want to love, like you love me Lord. This love that you have bestowed upon me must be given so that others my know Your Love. My desire is to live totally committed to You. A life that’s willing to obey your Word, keep your commandments and serve You with all my might, with all my soul and all with my heart. Lord, I love you so much I’m willing to surrender my all to you.


In the Word of God, Jesus said if you love me, keep my commandments (John 14:15). If you keep My commandments, you will abide in His love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love (John 15:10). For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome (1 John 5:3). There’s a running theme here, IF WE LOVE GOD…we will keep His commandments. As a child growing up, we loved our parents very much that we chose not to do anything to displease or dishonor them. The love we showed our parents helped us make quality decisions concerning what’s right and what’s wrong. These decisions either helped us to obey our parents or we paid the consequences for our actions that lead to a sore bottom and also displeased them. This is the same with God, if we love Him like we say we do, we will obey His commandments and our life will be an example of His love towards others. If we love God, there should be no sin in our lives. This love that we have for Him will cause us to live a pure and holy life.


Do you understand what I’m saying? If we love God, truly love God, we will keep, obey and do what His commandments tell us. Love the Lord your God with a heart that will never ever bring shame or dishonor to His name. Keep the Lord’s commandments and do them in order to bring glory to His name for this is how we show our love to Him. Remember, if you truly love the Father, you will truly keep His commandments.


Have a Beautiful Day
