Jesus is the source of life - when we are tired and lonely we turn to Him and He gives us rest.  When we are distressed with the trials of life we go to Him and He gives us peace.  He tells us to come to Him for He is always there.

But such familiarity cannot be taken for granted.   It is Love that motivates us to turn to Him and it is obedience that He expects from us.  For if we say "I love you Lord" but fail to keep his commandments - there is no Love.  If we Love we must obey - for it pleases Jesus, and if we obey the commandments, through Jesus, we will reach the Father and the Father will love us too. 

How can we love our neighbour unless we are filled with the Love of God...Jesus is the source of that divine virtue - LOVE - and it is only if we follow His teachings, and obey his commands will we be able to grow in love for our neighbours.
