Respond to love

A disciple : 
Master, we Christians have commandments to love God and neighbour.

Master: 
How can you have a commandment to love?
disciple : 
They are in the scripture.
Master : 
If you have commandment to love you may get obedience and not love.
disciple:
Then how do we respond to this so called "commandment?"
Master :
When some one loves you, you can respond that love.
God loved us first and so you may love Him as a response to that love. Don't take it as a commandment.
