obedience vs sacrifice

Why does the word of God says that obedience is more pleasing than a sacrifice?

Sacrifice is anthropocentric; which means it is translated from a man-centered view. With this understanding in mind, sacrifice differs from people to people, age to age and not missing out, the different kind of motivation that compels us. In short; what may seems to be a sacrifice to me might not inflict the same amount of pain as compared to my friends.

However, the truth is this: if we are bent on serving with the motivation by the audience of one, then it doesn't it makes sense to obey the one and only person? Jesus. Which in turns promises you from the most definite instruction to the most wonderful reward?

Furthermore, who says that we can smoke through the crossroads of sacrificing? I honestly believe in this: you can sacrifice without obeying, but you can never fully obey without sacrificing.

God, you are indeed a thinker.
