Whether we know it or not. There. The key to unlocking our recalcitrant self-will is the acceptance of those six words.
It is important to realize that we can have a recalcitrant self-will and not even know that. From our eyebrows up, we can want, desire, wish to have the feeling of God...the real God...in our life.
Our very want blocks our very want.
When we figuratively beat our breast and wail for our God to come to us, we stand in the way of God...the real God...for our wailing is our will and our focus...our God in that moment.
We quibble and quarrel when we'd best get quiet...and wait. All qualifiers notwithstanding, there is but one God, and It is in the spark of Divine within all.
Whether we know it or not, God has already worked out for our benefit any perceived problem in our life. In trust, we sit and wait on the Lord, but because we trust, we get up and do something about something.
It is most beneficial to our own self when our doing is in the service of the Lord...who is always disguised as an "other." Which may be a sick pup, a bedraggled flower bush, a elderly person in need, a piece of loose trash on the street...the Lord comes in many ways his wonders to perform.
Whether we know it or not.
Thank you.
