Make God's Will Our Will

[Chad]

MAKE GOD'S WILL OUR WILL

The mystery of man's free will is far too great for us! God said to Adam and Eve: "Thou shalt not eat from this tree." Here was a divine requirement calling for obedience on the part of those who had the power of choice and will. When they disobeyed they usurped the right that was not theirs! The poet Tennyson must have thought about this for he wrote in his In Memoriam: "our wills are ours, we know not how; our wills are ours to make them Thine!" "We know not how;" then Tennyson girds himself and continues, "Yes, our wills are ours to make them Thine."

As created beings, that is our only right-to make our wills the will of God, to make the will of God our will! God is sovereign, and we are the creatures. He is the Creator and therefore His is the right to command us with the obligation that we should obey. It is a happy obligation, I might say, for "His yoke is easy and His burden is light!" It is important to agree that true salvation restores the right of a Creator-creature relationship, acknowledging God's right to our fellowship and communion!

I think this is such a good scripture that I need to remember where to find it when it is needed.

Matt.11.
28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

1 Cor.1.
Thanksgiving
4 I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. 5 For in him you have been enriched in every way—in all your speaking and in all your knowledge— 6 because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you. 7 Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. 8 He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.

Jesus loves us to talk and have that fellowship with him.

He gives us the greatest commandment to obey here:
Mark 12.
30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'31 The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'There is no commandment greater than these."

Thank you Chad for this thread about making God's will our will.

God bless :rainbow: :rose:

"My will is not my own, till Thou hast made it Thine,
If it would reach a Monarch's Throne, it must its crown resign.
It only stands unbent, amid the clashing strife, till on Thy bosom it has leant, and found in thee its life". (from Make me a Captive LOrd)

When I had sugar diabetes,It was very bad,mine was over 1000 And I had to take 5 shots each day.
but ,I prayed ? Lord if it can be in your Perfect will, I want healed/
But I do not want healed if it is in your permisive will.
As ,I believe He has a perfect will and permisive will.
He healed me.
now I eat and drink anything.
But too be honest for two days,My sugar was about 196 then the next day over 200.I thought?Gee LORD ,What is this all about?
Then the next day was perfect again?
I see these type things in life?
A miracl;e ,then something to kinda put doubt in it all.but,I was healed in about the begining of june or end of may 2006 As I went in the hospital in may.
So funny how these things can bring doubt even after all this time.
No one gets healed in the normal , when there sugar is that bad,unless we get a miracle!
This same subject about the garden is on many sites.
That is another thing,it seems the body disgusts the same subjects at the same time ,many times!

Of course,HE put the tree right in the middle, Other wise the angels could say? He never really tempted mankind!
Adam failed us all?
But,The 2nd ADAM does not fail any,Willing!
Every creature in the garden,I would guess??? Could speak and understand everything adam and eve spoke!
we have NO idea how GREAT the garden was???
But,It was perfect,far beyond how we could think, or judge???
We do not see perfect,Except in the life of our LORD! So we cannot judge easy???

I know the LORD knew everything before HE made the foundation of the earth.
And He wanted HIS own childern.
Which we are , who are willing to be?
He gain tried and tested childern.
No doubt they will never fail HIm ,and of course,HE never fails us.
No matter how things look ? It is for us!
WE live by FAITH ,Knowing HE NEVER leaves ot forsakes us ,Knowing HE is LOVE and LOVES us dearly.
Knowing our time here is nothing to be compared with forever more!
We will be with HIM one day soon.These things will not matter any more!
He LOVES YIOU SO VERY MUCH and hurts when You hurt.Still He allows iot for our GOOD!
Thank YOU LORD for trails and tribulation for suffering.Bless YOU LORD for LOVING us so much !
We will always BLESS YOU FATHER GOD,In the mighty name of JESUS CHRIST!
