Your Will Be Done
Often people feel uncomfortable when affirming that God’s Will be done in a particular situation. They may have a deep-seated concern or fear that it may be God’s Will to punish them for some past transgression of His Law. Little do they know that even though their past mistakes may have dimmed some of the Light they would have otherwise received, they would have never, never, affected the Will of God for them. God’s Will for each one of us is profoundly and astonishingly better than anything we could possibly imagine to be the best and the most desirable for ourselves. All the power that God has, or rather all the power that God is, is everywhere present. It may be hard to believe that all of God’s power is within the “little me”. But it is true. It is not the amount of God’s power but its quality that is, indeed, in us at all times.
Often in a time of need God cannot reach us because there is something in His way. Something that even He, the all-powerful God, cannot remove or circumvent. It is ourselves, our ego, our falsely perceived identity that is separate and independent of Him. When God created us, He gave us the freedom to be either with Him or without Him. And He cannot take this freedom back.
Acknowledge the supremacy of God’s Will, surrender to it. It is the presence of God within us that can make us whole. Patiently cultivate a personal relationship with it. The Presence knows everything about us, it loves us more than we can ever love it. It is the best diagnostician and the only true healer. It can heal us instantaneously, if we just get out of its way.
