GOD’S WILL:


God’s will most often happens in spite of us, not because of us.

We may try to second guess what God has in mind for us, looking,
searching, hypervigilent to seek God’s will as though it were a
buried treasure, hidden beyond our reach. If we find it, we win the
prize. But if we’re not careful, we miss out.

That’s not how it works.

We may believe that we have to walk on eggshells, saying, thinking,
and feeling the right thing, while forcing ourselves somehow to be in
the right place at the right time to find God’s will. But that’s not
true.

God’s will for us is not hidden like a buried treasure. We do not
have to control or force it. We do not have to walk on eggshells in
order to have it happen.

It is right there inside and around us. It is happening, right now.
Sometimes, it is quiet and uneventful and includes the daily
disciplines of responsibility and learning to take care of ourselves.
Sometimes, it is healing us when we’re in circumstances that
trigger old grieving and unfinished business.

Sometimes it’s grand.

We do have a part. We have responsibilities, including caring for
ourselves. But we do not have to control God’s will for us. We are
being taken care of. We are protected. And the Power caring for
and protecting us loves us very much.

If it is a quiet day, trust the stillness. If it is a day of action, trust
the activity. If it is time to wait, trust the pause. If it is time to
receive that which we have been waiting for, trust that it will
happen clearly and with power.
