Your Father Knows

 So do not be like them [praying as they do]; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. MATTHEW 6:8 AMP



but just as it is written [in Scripture], “T hings which the eye has not seen and the ear has not heard , A nd which have not entered the heart of man , A ll that G od has prepared for those who love H im [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, who obey Him, and who gratefully recognize the benefits that He has bestowed].” 1 CORINTHIANS 2:9 AMP


And God is able to make all grace [every favor and earthly blessing] come in abundance to you, so that you may always [under all circumstances, regardless of the need] have complete sufficiency in everything [being completely self-sufficient in Him], and have an abundance for every good work and act of charity. 2 CORINTHIANS 9:8 AMP

Jesus doesn't say "if you love me, feel devoted to me" — he ties love to concrete action. In John's Gospel, love is verifiable; it shows up in behaviour, not just emotion. The Greek verb for "keep" (tērēsete) is future tense and follows a conditional — love isn't presented as a prerequisite for a transaction ("obey...
