Love God and do as you please. 
Augustine

It may be helpful to understand that Augustine was not advocating license to do whatever we want. Perhaps he was reflecting upon the words of Jesus:

If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. (John 14:15)

The person who truly loves God will obey His commandments. Our love for God will transform our lives from a “have to obey” to a “want to obey”. His commandments become a delight to our soul. Can you exclaim this attitude with the Psalmist?

I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your Law is within my heart. (Psalm 40:8)
