Quote from Perelandra

“I think He made on law of that kind in order that there might be obedience. In all the other things you call obeying His is but doing what seems good in your own eyes also. Is love content with that? You do them, indeed, because they are his will, but on only because they are His will. Where can you taste the joy of obeying unless He kids you to do something for which His hiding is the only reason.”
