Love God and do as you please

"Love God and do as you please." -St. Augustine

I have read this quote exactly three times in the last couple of weeks. First in a book by Robin Jones Gunn. Then in an article in Relevant Magazine. And finally on a Facebook post. I swear it is following me around! And if you know anything about teaching, you have probably heard that if you want your students to remember something, you should tell it to them at least three times. I don't really know if this is just a coincidence or what... but I do think this is something I needed to hear at this time in my life. I recently made a big decision about college. Even though I feel good about it, I still occasionally question myself. Did I make the right decision? What if God wants me somewhere else? Etc, etc.

Here is the full quote from Augustine:

“Love God and do whatever you please: for the soul trained in love to God will do nothing to offend the One who is Beloved.”

And that pretty much says it all.
