So does this mean I don\u2019t love God, it breaks my heart to think that way, but I know I don\u2019t love him the way I\u2019m supposed to because I\u2019m not obedient.<\/p>\n<p>Application: Remember love is not just a feeling but a commitment, a deliberate action.  I need to be obedient to my Father, he deserves it and without it I can\u2019t show my true love for him.
