Disciples asked the maggid (teacher) of Zlotchov: "In the Talmud we read that our Father Abraham kept all the laws. How could this be, since they had not yet been given to him?"
"All that is needful," he said, "is to love God. If you are about to do something and you think it might lessen your love, then you will know it is sin. If you are about to do something and think it will increase your love, you will know that your will is in keeping the will of God. That is what Abraham did."

To paraphrase what He said "If you love me you'll do what I tell you to do." Sometimes I bet He just shakes His head at me....well, maybe more than just sometimes!
