When our free will counters God's will, our free will always wins...but God's will always prevails in time.
Since God's will is going to prevail, why not accept it first thing? Probably because the ego, where our free will lives, always needs something to go up against...to get over on.
That's the bottom-line reason for discipline, discipline, and still more discipline. Why we consciously try to put the other person first, why we try to admit our errors asap, why we want to want God's will, rather than our own will, to be done in our life.
We have learned that our will is not our friend, that God's will is. We rein in our ego wants so that God can "go before us to make the crooked places straight."
We have to start somewhere, and we will seldom start when we're faced with a real ego-reducing crisis.
Thank you.
