If you love God you should do everything that He calls you to.
It can be hard to do everything that God calls us to do because when it comes to giving God everything it scares us. We are afraid to let go of the past because we are comfortable with how things are now. We try to find common ground, just enough to please God and enough to be satisfied with life at the same time. We know we should be witnessing more to others, spending more time serving, and giving more of our finances away, but we don't because we are afraid...
Afraid to let go..
Afraid to change..
Afraid to live..
But Jesus responds in the next verse "And I will pray to the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever."
Jesus knew that we couldn't do it on our own. He knew that living a life that was totally different from our norm would be scary. But he gives every believer the Holy Spirit to help us fulfill all the commands of God. Even the ones that we think are impossible.
We don't have to be afraid.. we have a helper, we have God working in us.

Total Agreement with that, sometimes we think we can't love others because of how different we our, but we forget that God is in us, enabling us to love each other.
