John 21:15-17 NIV
“When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.”
Prayer
Lord teach us to understand your love language, that it is not just an emotional experience, therefore, it is not a feeling but it is an action of nurturing, feeding, looking after your people. If we are not actively taking care (discipling) of your people, we cannot claim to be loving you, the way you expect it. Teach us how to love you.
