If we have God's love within our heart and projecting through our lives we will receive His correction in these last days. That's the difference. I'm sure many of us have confused phileo for agapao love. Phileo or human affection is intellectual, whereas agapao love comes from the heart by faith. Phileo love will always doubt and question, but agapao love will always rest and be at peace.
Godly love has trust, and strengthens faith.
Like that little verse, we do many little things in this life, and Jesus said if you but give a cup of cold water in My Name, you have your reward. I'm so glad He sees those little things we do. Love is a powerful force, and when love reaches the end of its strength, sovereign grace takes over and grants love's petition. That's the reason we have a Savior, God so loved the world, and His love projected to the world produced a Savior. God wanted so much to see you well, His love went out and produced an atonement for your sickness as well as your sins.
