Choose and Act

I am trying very hard to focus on my homework, but all that is on my mind is a statement from the message at church this morning....

IF YOU WANT LOVE, YOU HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE AND ACT!!

How true is that...I know many people who only will walk into something or choose to act if they know things will work out, but with love....especially loving GOD... well, it is about making a choice and then acting upon it. HE gives us a choice whether or not to live a life surrendered to HIM.

I think that could be true in many things, for me when I was deciding to go to Korea I was pleading with GOD to give me peace so that I knew where HE wanted to guide me, but what I realized was that HE wanted me to make a choice and act on it....Then, HE brought the peace and rest I was so desiring.

Funny, but I think "GOD CALLING" goes along with this statement above:

My Standard
Carry out My Commands and leave the result to Me. Do this as obediently and faithfully as you would expect a child to follow out a given rule in the working of a sum, with no question but that, if the working out is done according to command, the result will be right.
Remember that the commands I have given you have been already worked out by Me in the Spirit World to produce in your case, and in your circumstances, the required result. So follow My rules faithfully.
Realize that herein lies the perfection of Divine Guidance. To follow a rule laid down, even by Earth;s wisest, might lead to disaster.
The knowledge of you individual life and character, capability, circumstances, and temptations must be, to some extent, lacking, but to follow My direct Guidance means to carry out instructions given with a full knowledge of you and the required result.
Each individual was meant to walk with Me in this way, to act under Divine control, strengthened by Divine Power.
Have I not taught you to love simplicity? No matter what the world may thing, Earth's aims and intrigues are not for you. Oh! My children, learn of Me. Simplicity brings rest. True rest and Power.
To the world foolishness, maybe, but to Me a foretaste of Divinity.

1 John 3:18 "Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth."

Yep, IF YOU WANT LOVE, YOU HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE AND ACT!!
