I have listened to many many of her talks. All of them good. She gives you no escape, you must surrender to God, you must be owned by Him!

I am apt to say I love God, because I do. Her saying is "Don't tell me you love God, show me", so hopefully I won't just say that I do, but do completely what He wants. I think for me, obeying God is not a white knuckled experience. I can love him so much that I WANT to do what He is asking. So if I want do the harder things, I will ask Him to love Him more, I will worship Him, the One that is able to give me the ability to do what He wants.

I see that everyone (including me) grows toward God at whenever and however He wants to grow us, I know He will give good gifts to me. I love Him, but He loves me more.
