Oreos

Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. John 14:23 NIV

I love Oreos. Original double-stuffed. I will eat them in a car. I will eat them in a bar. I will eat them here or there. I will eat them anywhere. The point is...I love Oreos so much that I'd do just about anything to get them. If they talked and had rules, I'd follow them. It's just that simple.

I love God. My heart knows him. And he does talk and has rules and teachings. So why do we find it so hard to follow them if we claim to love him? If I claim to love Oreos and then never have them, what's the point in saying how much I like them? None! So if we love God, we must obey his teachings.  Look at what he promises to do...make his home with you! That's even better than living in an Oreo house.

So if you love him then follow through. Put that love into action.
