As we have seen to have love we must submit control of our life to our lover. This release of control shows that we "Trust" our lover and thereby love him with our WHOLE heart, mind, soul, and strength which he requires of anyone who will join him in that eternal love fest. So therefore trust is the proof of love.
Trust means that we believe our lover wants what is best for us and that we want to join him. That is the proof of the right decision to join him. And by putting that trust into effect we receive the peace that we have the Creator himself in charge of our life. What more could anyone ask for. This peace and trust gives us a better quality of life. And as a result we are in a better position to master the challenges and assignments we may receive from our lover. An important factor in this trust is that our timetable and God's timetable are not the same.. Usualy we think in minutes and God thinks in years. We must learn to wait.
Since love is placing the needs, desires and requirements before your own; it is critical that the control of your life is submitted over to your lover, for these two reasons:
1. For your lover to place your needs, desires and requirements to the level of importance they should be, He must have that control. 2. And if your lover's needs, desires, and requirements are to be second to His, you need to relinquish control to him so you can concentrate on what your lover should receive from you. By relinquishing that control you achieve the peace and love your lover God wishes to give you. And he also will give you the power to complete the challenges and assignments you receive from your lover. That is why you need to relinquish control to your lover, so you can improve the quality of your life.
God wants spirits who can join Him in an eternal love fest. Love requires that you place your lover's needs, desires, and requirements as more important than yours. This requires a thoughtful commitment made by deciding the question whether you will be committed for eternity to placing God first and in control of your life and existence or retain control yourself. To make that decision and commitment, God provides us with a training plan to make that decision and commitment with full thought.
That training plan consist of placing these spirit/souls in a temporary body on the planet earth. God uses this training plan and its many parts of it to help us to choose which way to make that decision and commitment . When we complete the training plan and make the decision and commitment, God removes the spirit from the body and those who have chosen to love him with all their heart, mind, spirit/soul and strength and brings them into his eternal love-fest. This training program uses such things as challenges that force the trainee to either trust God or themselves to get through it. Also he uses Assignments which help us to reinforce our commitment to God. He has many other procedures in his training program such as being parented in what love is all about. All of this helps us make that all important decision.
God being a God of love and seeking praise and glory, created the angels who eternally will bring that honor and praise. But the angels can not bring him love. Because a key ingredient of love is the ability to choose whether to love someone (put their desires and requirements before their own) or not. The angels do not have that capability. So God created humans who have that ability.
These humans were created as spirits like their creator. These spirit manifestations of the spirit world although like God, did not have the powers of God of creation and other powers. were called souls. They did have the power to choose to love God with all their heart or not. But for them to make that choice successfully they needed to be schooled in the pros and cons of their choices. So he created a training school for them called earth along with a temporary body to be used during that training. He established a training program where they go through such training as challenges which force them to choose to depend on God or themselves. And they are given assignment where they are asked to do something for God to show their love of Him or not. And they are given tests to force them to choose which is more important to them, their needs and requirements or God's. When they have completed the training program and made their final choice they graduate by leaving their earthly body and their life on earth. They then either share love with God in a eternal love fest with Him and each other OR NOT. 
Hi. I am a 75 year old man who has lived a very complex life. It included being a lay minister/chaplain, etc. within the Christian faith. I found that I was not truly happy and that I had not truly fulfilled my purpose here on earth. Once I had retired, I spent my time, taking an in-depth look at my life and what I was living for. During that time, I developed a love affair with my BFF, my love, God.
