John 14:21 (New King James Version)
He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”
Obedience to God's commands comes from your heart.
When you begin struggling to obey God that is a clear sign from your heart that you have drifted away from Him. Claiming "I love God, but I'm having trouble obeying Him in some areas"
seems to me to be impossible. That verse is basically saying: If you love me you obey me, if you obey me my Father and I will return that love. Now how can you love God and not obey him?
