Acting Accordingly

Thomas Merton wrote, "We must know the truth, we must love the truth we know and we must act according to measure of our love.  Truth is God himself who cannot be known apart from love and cannot be loved apart from surrender to his will."   (p. 8, The Ascent to Truth)

Acting according to the measure of love in you?
Does that scare you?
Don't worry, it's not your love but His that we need.
Act according to the love He has poured out into you.
If we act according to ours, we will be found short, and they will be shortchanged.
