It is Christ who is
to be exalted, not our feelings. We will know Him by obedience, not by
emotions. Our love will be shown by obedience, not by how good we feel about
God at a given moment. And love means
following the commands of God. "Do
you love Me?" Jesus asked Peter. "Feed My lambs." He was not
asking, "How do you feel about Me?" for love is not a feeling. He was
asking for action.
