Never tired of Elisabeth Elliot
From Elisabeth Elliot today:
'If you really love me you will keep the commandments I have given you." It is perilously easy to imagine that we love God because we like the idea of God, or because we feel drawn to Him. The only valid test of love is obedience. Take one thing commanded and start doing it. Take one thing forbidden and stop doing it. Then we are on the sure road to knowing God. There is no other.[my emphasis]
A simple recipe for success. . . . .
Love,

I'm not kidding...just five minutes I ago I cut and paste that very same quote into my quote collection (I'm on the same E. Elliott mailing list!) LOVE it!

Gee, I guess God's trying to teach me something about that since I've heard it from so many sources recently.
