I’ve heard more than a few people at this church say, “Obedience is God’s love language.” I like this! God desires our obedience. And, as we all know, sometimes obedience is hard. It requires doing things we don’t want to do or not doing things we want to do. And this is not easy stuff, as Paul tells us very clearly in Romans 7:19. However, believe it or not, this kind of obedience is not the ideal. What we are really striving for is a complete change of nature so that obedience to God doesn’t require muscle and strength of will but a simple, “Yes, Lord.” This kind of obedience, where one’s heart is turned toward God completely, is where our spiritual journeys should be heading. It’s that place where our desires and God’s desires sing in unison.
