Obey, not because you fear making a mistake for which you cannot bear to be responsible.

Obey, not because you think the opinions and instructions of the one above you in authority are worthy of your following.

Obey, not because you trust in the greater wisdom of the teacher above you.

Obey, not because the prospects of your future depend on your subservience.

Obey, because you love.

"Love and obedience are travelling companions. Obedience is, therefore, to be seen in relational terms, for true obedience springs from love."
