Obedience

 Open your heart to God to allow him to come in and love you. Ask him to guide you into a powerful encounter with his love today. Ask him to make you aware of his nearness and heart for you. 

“And to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”Ephesians 3:19

2. Meditate on verses about obedience. 

In John 14:21 Jesus says, “Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” 

“Jesus answered him, ‘If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.'” John 14:23

Ask the Holy Spirit to transform you into a person who obeys God’s commands out of love for him. 

3. Commit yourself to obey God’s commands out of trust and affection for him. Choose to serve him and those he’s placed in your life. Ask him to fill you with a desire to do his will that your obedience wouldn’t take debate but rather be a seamless action flowing from the love he’s placed within you. 

Deuteronomy 30:14 says, “But the word is very near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can do it.” 

“Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” Ephesians 5:1-2
