3. "You cannot prove to yourself that you love God by examining your feelings toward Him. They are indefinite and they fluctuate. But just as far as you obey Him, just so far, depend upon it; you love Him.

The difference is that the first we sit and watch and basically we know the ending but the second is defined by us and require lots of work and effort to define the way we want to live by.

"But the man who truly loves you will tend to your heart like he tends a garden, nurturing it until it grows and blooms under his hand."
