1. If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

Love is to be put more in deeds than in words – St. Ignatius of Loyola. Those words are an echo of the words of John the Apostol: Children, let us love not in word or speech but indeed and truth. [1]
The love to God to us did no was only for words, he loved us and love until shed his blood for us, and it was no enough, not only give us his son once, all days in the eucharistic.
And Jesus asks for us the same thing to show our love not only with dancing, no only with songs, Jesus, I love you (Jesus mi laikim you) is only a feeling, we have to show our love keeping his law.

2. All the days many opportunities to show Jesus that we love him

One day in young boy was seating with his friends, and another girl invite him to comity a sin, he rejected many times, and the woman says why, I don't like to you?
The boy says, if where for this flesh go away, but for him I will not commit a sing. Showing his love no with words, but keeping the commandments of Jesus.
When an American journalist saw her treating a sick man with stinking wounds, he told her that he would not do that even for a million dollars. "For a million dollars neither would I," Mother Teresa replied.
"If you want to know a person, don't ask him what he thinks but what he loves." St. Augustine
You see all our actions during your day and we will see what do you love?

3. You will see in all action what love is behind

Gambling the alms of Devil
I was in USA asking for money for the those did not give any help, for my brother I heard that one night they lost more than 25 000 kinas, I told them do no worries, you already gave you of offering, yes because the gambling and offering to devil… Why yes because when you offer to God you make for love, when you make a gambling, you make for ambition.
The root of charity is love, the root of gambling is ambition one goes to God another to Devil

4. You become what you love.

I you love the devil you will become your slave and you will carry his children, the gambling, the spark, the still, the fornication.
I you love God you will become his son and you will make his works.
For love o God, I forgive you, for love of God stop this works that did no belong to Christ
Unless we renounce total to the works of Satan, the works of the flesh, we cannot be true Christian.
What happen with Saul, God had commanded Saul to exterminate all the Amalekites and ruin all that belonged to them, except for nothing. Saul exterminated this people; But he took pity on his king and did not sacrifice all that he found precious in the field.[2].
So, if we love Jesus, we cannot keep anything that belong the devil in our heart.
We have to burn the stealing, the gambling, the customs of ancestor, the drunks, etc.
I you love Jesus’ show with your life that Jesus is in your heart.
