True success in life comes from pleasing
God. What pleases God is love. Since God is Love obeying Him is the way that we
operate in the best form of love. Jesus says, "If you keep My commandments,
you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and
abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in
you, and that your joy may be full." We enter into God's joy through
experiencing His love.

light shall dawn in the darkness, And your darkness shall be as the noonday.

spoken."
