obedient love

When we are in love we do more than what is desired and expected, our actions and behavior stem from the joy of loving.

Love is more than a positive, emotional connection or feeling. There is a connection between love and action — and with God, the connection between love and doing what He wills.

Obedience to God isn’t just some external act where we strive to “do the right thing” or somehow earn His favor. It flows out of the joy of loving.

Hebrews 12:2 "Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
