John 15

Obedience. Jesus, God the Son, was in complete obedience to God the Father. Obeying Jesus is obeying the Father. Obedience and Joy go hand in hand. He chose me, I obey, I bear fruit, and I become His disciple. He commands me, I obey, His joy remains in me and I will have complete joy or true fulfillment. His command: love one another. Simple statement, but one of the hardest principles to practice. By His grace, my fruit will remain.

    in some ways it sounds so easy, doesn't it? but oh so hard. keep pressing forward Hebrews 12:1-3
