We start out wanting...our wills to be satisfied....Gradually we find we are not happy when we are selfish so we begin to make allowances for other peoples' wills. But this again does not give us full happiness, and we begin to see that the only way to be truly happy is to try to do God's will. -- Anonymous
That is so my experience. Especially in understanding that wanting what I want when I want it gives no satisfaction but moving up to giving over to other people doesn't give full happiness either. Then, BINGO: "We begin to see that the only way to be truly happy is to try to do God's will."
In this morning's meditation I received the BFO in re my friend with whom I'm having a push-pull time, "You need to praise her...to make certain she is aware how grateful you are for her."
I then picked up Goldsmith's "Heart of Mysticism," and the first words I read (from the 147th Psalm) were: "Praise ye the Lord...," and I knew my BFO to be true. I knew that was God's will for me spelled out, that that is how we praise the Lord. We praise others for they represent God's ears, and hearing, they then pass it on...and that is the answered prayer.
God is so good to me.
Thank You.
