CHOOSING GOD

It is God's will that we accept His commands and his consolations as generously and as fully as we are able; and he also wants us to accept our tarrying and our suffering as lightly as we are able, and to count them as nothing. For the more lightly we accept them, the less importance we ascribe to them; because of our love, the less pain shall we experience from them and the more thanks shall we have for them. In this blessed revelations I was truly taught that any man or woman who voluntarily chooses God in his lifetime may be sure that he too is chosen.
