Obedience

“God did not tell us follow Him because He needed our help, but because He knew that loving him would make us whole.”
St. Irenaeus of Lyons

For Reflection:
Hidden in this quote by St. Irenaeus is several truths. What do I think is the connection between loving God and following His will? Think about this in terms of love and obedience in all relationships. What do I think is the connection between wholeness and loving God? In light of this, what one concrete resolution am I willing to make today regarding obedience to God?
