Seeking God's Will...
SEEKING GOD'S WILL
Anything forced into manifestation through personal will is always "ill got" and has "ever bad success." ---- Florence Scovel Shinn
The main thrust of our recovery is to attune ourselves to God's will. We now struggle no longer to impose our own will.
The pain we've endured in past years was often of our own making. We controlled or manipulated situations until we managed to force the outcome we desired, only to realize it didn't come easy, & offered little joy or happiness. Instead, it was a bitter ending to our struggle.
When we want something or someone to play by our rules, we can expect barriers & struggles. And when the barriers don't give way with a gentle push, & the struggles become continuous or momentous, we should consider it a clue that we are off course. When we want what God wants for us, the barriers & the struggles, if any, will fall away.
What God wants for us at every moment is growth and happiness. When we step away from our ego and develop a selfless posture toward life, we'll find serenity in the midst of any turmoil. Serenity is God's promise. When we get in line with God's will, we'll find peace.
I will know God's will if I will listen to my inner voice. I will do what feels right, and peace will be my reward. -- Karen Casey
