obedience...

Why is obedience soooo hard?  Maybe it's just me, but I have such a hard time with it.  I recently asked one of my friends, "Does it say somewhere in the bible that I have to LIKE obedience?"
Even though I know that blessings usually follow obedience, i still struggle with it.  Anyone???
Today I was lead to Hebrews 5:7-9.  It gave me such peace to know that Christ even had to hit this one head on!  He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save Him from death.  Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for ALL WHO OBEY him!  Surely, if He can model obedience to death on a cross, I can muster up enough courage to do what God is asking me to do!  Love you all.  Hope you are having an obedient day!
