Our free will is God's gift to us as we are aborning. Our life's work is our journey toward acceptance that this gift has but one purpose...for us to regift to God.
Our free will easily and immediately becomes as Velcro to our ego/self, and it takes complete surrender to divorce ourselves from it. We come to realize that our peace lies in returning our free will to God in exchange for his will in order that he may intervene in our lives in our behalf...which, we only learn by doing, benefits all.
It is only in complete surrender that we are awakened to the fact that free will is a secondary need in our life. It must take a back seat to God's will in our desire to seek and to do God's will. We still use free will for nothing is wasted in God's world...but we seek to do God's will first thus aligning our free will behind God's will.
When a conflict is resolved, all parties benefit, and by that fact our hearts sing ...depending, of course, on how completely we are living a turned over life.
It is through this returned gift to God that we are enabled to live happy, joyous and free...with no agenda to enhance ourselves, just the grace of gratitude that we've tried free will and found God's will to be infinitely preferable.
Thank you.
