Jesus called us his friends and explained his plans to his disciples and us, and explicitly called us not servants, differentiating between servants and friends. God wants friends first, not people who merely obey but seek intimate friendship.

Agreed, number one commandment is to love God. You have to know Him in order to do this. We show God we love Him by obeying Him. First commandment: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind". Second commandment: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself".

Two commandments, as friends and children of God, not servants, and they are comprehensible, as opposed to the assertion of your graphic which implies his commands aren't understandable.

it's says we don't always understand God's "plan".

You may want to re-read your graphic.

?? I don't get it, what am I missing?
