1 John 5:2-3 (CB)

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

It is Christ who is to be exalted, not our feelings. We will know Him by obedience, not by emotions. Our love will be shown by obedience, not by how good we feel about God at a given moment. And love means following the commands of God. “Do you love Me?” Jesus asked Peter. “Feed My lambs.” He was not asking, “How do you feel about Me?” For love is not a feeling. He was asking for action. Filter your feelings on the faithful love of your Heavenly Father and His infinite wisdom, “who will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5).
