2John 6 states, "And this is love; that we walk in obedience to his commands.....His command is that you walk in love." Notice this verse does not say anything about feelings. C.S. Lewis in Mere Christianity wrote that God is more interested in our obedience than in our feelings. Feelings are very important. But we also know that in this imperfect ever changing world our feelings come and go. Therefore, true love is a time-tested phenomenon. It lies in acts of care that goes beyond feelings. It not only brings flowers on Valentines day, but also takes out the garbage or prepares supper the next day.
