Love Makes Obedience Delightful
John 14:13-14
And whatever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.…


Love obeys with delight. It is not a burden to pray, but a pleasure. Hard duties become easy to love and the time seems not long nor tedious; as Jacob for the love of Rachel (Genesis 29:20). Seven years to love seems but as one day. One day spent in a holy duty to one who hath love, seems to pass away sooner and with more delight than one day spent in flesh displeasing duties where there is no love to take off the tediousness of it to the flesh.

(Percy.)
