If we understand nothing else we must understand that not all “wills” are created equal. You must see that there is our will. And our will can lead us to sabotaging a coworker to get a raise or promotion. It can lead to cheating to get a better grade. It can lead to lying to a friend or loved one just so we can feel better about ourselves. Following our own wills can lead to disastrous skill development and outcomes. Fortunately, we are not left to our own wills. There is a Higher Will. There is a Perfect Will. There is God’s Will. And the grace filled, most merciful part of it is that God’s Blessed Will is not meant for God alone but equally is for us as well. That’s where the blessings come from, where the peace comes from, where the love comes from. Our goal, through the help of the Holy Spirit is to align our will, connect our will and yes subordinate our will to His Will. Thus we pray, “Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven”. Don’t find yourself chasing or implementing the wrong, suboptimal will. Instead, let us live into the Perfect Will, His Will and the blessings which come with it.
