Obedience comes from distance; attachment is the result of closeness.
Rabbi Manis Friedman differentiates between obeying the command of an authority figure, and experiencing the closeness to G-d that comes when doing a mitzvah.
G-d is inviting us to join Him in something He considers precious, which instigates the connection and attachment we feel.
