"The essence and flavor of all obedience is the outworking of a principle within—the love of righteousness, the love of the law of God. The essence of all righteousness is loyalty to our Redeemer, doing right because it is right. When the Word of God is a burden because it cuts directly across human inclinations, then the religious life is not a Christian life, but a tug and a strain, an enforced obedience. All the purity and godliness of religion are set aside." – {OFC 123.7}. We must ask the Lord to impart his love to us, that when His will is revealed through His word, instead of showing hatred towards His will, we will say like David in Psalm 40:8 "I delight to thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart." Do not give up, instead press onward and upward.
