--C.S. Lewis
I'm learning, finally really learning this lesson. "Thy will be done..." It's easy to say during the easy times. Like if you are well off and a friend asks for money, there's not too much to that.
It when you don't have a place to live, don't have a job, and then are asked to give up what you do have in order to help someone else...
But I'm finally getting it. Truly understanding that there's a greater purpose in it all. And when I'm lucky and paying attention, Heavenly Father even shows me the lessons I'm learning as it goes along.
It's a trust thing. And it finally hit me that I really CAN trust him. He wants the best for me and at least for now, I understand that everything that happens in between now and when we meet is going towards that goal.
It's not as though I've quit trying at all, but now I can feel when I'm supposed to stop or to try harder or to give in on my own wants.
I guess I haven;t lost my will... just gained a little faith.
