"Obedience goes before our hearts and carries them where they would not normally go."

Sometimes love is a choice. It is not felt, but we remain true to the commitment we made. Sometimes it comes in and sweeps you off your feet. It overwhelms you completely. These are my last two days. Yesterday, my loving Jesus and submitting my stubborn will to His was a choice, due to a commitment I made to Him in 1999. Today, He has completely overwhelmed me with His love. Funny how that works.

Sometimes being obedient to His call will take us someplace we would not go on our own. But we stick to our commitment to love and obey Him...and with us being human and weak, He seems to always come just in time to sweep us off our feet to reassure us...though sometimes He holds out to that last fleeting moment..."a bruised reed He will not break."
