Obedience is the joy not the burden that Jesus would teach us.

I tend to forget that I am a child of God, and as such He has every right to expect my obedience. This is never to be confused with forced compliance. Like love, true obedience to God is voluntary. The heart of true obedience is love and respect. Finding joy in obedience is learning to dance to the rhythm of righteousness.

“You will abide in my love if you keep my commandments. I tell you these things so that my joy may be in you and your joy made full.” Jesus Conversations Within ts 7/3/2024
