Boyd K. Packer said:
“Obedience to God can be the very highest expression of independence. Just think of giving to Him the one thing, the one gift that He would never take. Think of giving Him that one thing, the one gift that he would never wrest from you. . . .
Obedience—that which God will never take by force—He will accept when freely given. And He will then return to you freedom that you can hardly dream of—the freedom to feel and to know, the freedom to know and the freedom to be at least a thousand fold more than we offer Him. Strangely enough, the key to freedom is obedience. ~Boyd K. Packer, “Obedience.” Address at Brigham Young University, 7 December 1971; ABE ch. 26, pp. 235-61.
