What about the Love?

Is that really all it is?
Just rules to follow?

Apparently so...that's what you teach.
That it's the truth. And we should follow it because it's the truth.
And because I'll burn in hell if I don't.

But where's the love?
Where's the love??

When Jesus was asked what the most important commandment was, what did he say? To follow all the rules or burn in hell??

Mark 12:30
"And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment."

He said that we shall fall in love with our Father.

He said we shall love.

He said we shall love!!

I don't want to follow rules!! I want to do things for my Savior because of the immense burning love I have for him, not because I want to be a good person and get a ticket to heaven. God judges our heart, not our actions. I just want to love God! Love him in ways that are so bluntly obvious to others that they'll want to fall in love too. I'm at the point that I don't even care if I have everlasting life or not because I just want to love God while I'm here...he sent his only son to die for me and the thought of somebody dying for me, fills me with a love like I can't describe.

What about the Love?
