A conversation

"Father, what do you want me to do?"
-Love.
"Father...how can I love?"
-Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
You must love me first to do this.
"How can I love you more?"
-You must obey my commandments. I have given you my Spirit and all strength through my Son. You must obey, even if you don't want to. You must obey, even if you don't feel as though your motives are right for it. It will come.
...but it will be difficult.
