John 15:9-11 9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. 10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. 11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.Note: At times I have struggled with thinking His love is waiting on our obedience.... but that is such a blurred interpretation... I think it is more He loves me and because of my beloved-ness ... obedience is such and appropriate and desired fruit of His love for me and my receiving and believing that love.
