Or rather, it seems to me that the question might not be which comes first. The question, perhaps, ought to be why are we to be obedient? It seems that your growth process has brought you to a place where you can see clearly that obedience out of fear, to compete, or to be right is unfulfilling and doesn’t truly bring blessings and growth. However, is it possible that the truth lies in being truly obedient for the right reason? Obedience because of love. Not one above the other…but holding hands a in a great circle of truth.

I started feeling the same way as you… better to be obedient and right but I see how that is not God’s way… Thank you, Thank you for your experience and thoughts!!
