Jesus is saying to us that if you are struggling with your obedience to Him, you should not look for the solution in your willpower, look for a solution in your love relationship with Jesus.

The whole point of your Christian life is walking close to Jesus, not straining to meet a standard, or following Christian rules, or not doing certain things that you struggle with. Those issues matter, but they are not the heart of the Christian life.

The core of Christianity is for you to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. When that happens, obedience and commitment will not be something you have to force out; they will overflow as the natural result of your love.

Jesus is inviting you today to love Him, and if you love Him, you will trust and follow His Word.

Pray this – Our Precious Heavenly Father, I do love You, but I know that saying it is not enough I must show it by trusting You enough to follow and obey Your Word no matter what is going on. I do love Jesus and that is why I follow Him and obey Him. Give me the wisdom and strength that I need to always follow Your Will, which is The Word of God. Like the old familiar hymn says, “Trust and obey, trust and obey, for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey. In the Name of Jesus, my Shepherd who I follow, I pray, Amen.
