It is not hard to obey when we love the one whom we obey.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Obedience keeps the rules. Love knows when to break them.
When you feel like it's too hard to obey God, remember that He will never tell you to do something without giving you the grace, power and ability to do it.
Obedience is a strong virtue, capable of making me master of my emotions by giving me more strength to conquer my pride as I submit to those above me out of respect for their God-given authority and those below me out of love.
We can't command our love, but we can our actions.
If we are really going to learn from others, we must decide to fully obey.
The fact is that love is of two kinds, one which commands, and one which obeys. The two are quite distinct, and the passion to which the one gives rise is not the passion of the other.
I know the power obedience has of making things easy which seem impossible.
The little things, I can obey. But the big things - how we think, what we value - those you must choose yourself. You can't let anyone - or any society - determine those for you.
Learn to obey before you command.
It is so hard to believe because it is so hard to obey.
