Obligation or Calling, Compelled or Duty

"I am prepared for battle when my desire to love is simply stronger than my desire to snuff out the flame of mercy that God has graciously intruded into my heart. I am prepared to go into battle, if I cannot do anything but go...until your heart finds that it must love, not out of obligation, but out of the inner calling that compels you to live out the gospel in the reckless, wild, foolish, mysterious, supernatural path of love." (p. 156, Bold Love, Allender & Longman)
