Obedience.

It’s not so much a matter of discipline as it is of motivation, isn’t it? Sure you can force yourself to do something you do not want to do, and train up to make it easier, yet if you actually want to do it, isn’t that totally different? Sometimes I ask myself, why do I do the things I do, even those that are seen as good things? Do I really do them for the right reason – to honour God? Now that I think of it, I doubt so. Isn’t it so much easier to be motivated by the approval of others, especially those we like and admire? Sigh, ease must be the enemy of good.
