We have been Schooled repeatedly to love Allah and prophet above everything and it has become more of a rhetoric if we try being honest to ourselves, I have two questions:

1) how to develop true and conscious love for Allah and prophet, Whats the prescise path to follow ?

2) what will be the manifestation/reflection of true love in our lives/actions that kind of assures my conscious that I truly have developed that love and I am not merely lying to myself ,

JazakAllah
