To be loyal to God our Father is to love Him.  To love Him is to honor His wishes.  To honor Him is to obey Him.  To obey Him is to find ourselves enriched with the presence of His person.  This is to be filled with His Spirit.  This is to be empowered to live life to the fullest and in quiet faith without fear of men or event.   (from the book "Joshua" by Phillip Keller)
