We search for what we do not know, driven by what we cannot recognize. What is life about? There is a way, the lost way, with answers for us all.
Devotional
2 John 1:6 AMPC
And what this love consists in is this: that we live and walk in accordance with and guided by His commandments (His orders, ordinances, precepts, teaching). This is the commandment, as you have heard from the beginning, that you continue to walk in love [guided by it and following it].
Real agape love is not ‘love for people’ (as such), but obedience out of love for God.
Love is obedience and obedience will always be love. We love in the way and in the attitude of God Himself, coming from a secret rendezvous with Him IN His will.
Love is God. Nothing and no one else.
