Obedience isn't something being snatched from you; it's about willingly offering the gift of your freedom. It comes from great humility, a bold statement that "I'm not in charge of my life. I'm not God." It's recognizing that we don't have all the answers, and God really knows what is best for us.
So wherever Jesus is, wherever he's leading you: go there. Stay there. Choose to go there... don't get dragged! Don't back off, don't fill it with other things. Stay focused on him on the cross.
