Let Your mercy and loving-kindness come also to me, O Lord, even Your salvation according to Your promise
Psalm 119:41
Some Christians want to make a law out of studying the Bible or spending a certain amount of time with God. But we should be motivated to read God's Word and spend time with Him because of our love relationship with Him, not because of a commandment to do so.
Jesus said, " If you {really} love Me, you will keep (obey) My commands"( John 14:15). What He really meant was, " If you love Me and walk in fellowship with Me, you will keep My commandments." If you concentrate on loving God, then keeping his commandments will become a natural part of what you do. It is a promise He makes to you.

I rather like this--mostly because it's not an effort to love, today.
TY.
