A tragic mistake that is often made is to assume that the will of God is bound to be something very dull and uninviting, if not positively unpleasant. Consciously or not some persons look upon God as a hard taskmaster, or a severe parent. Too often their prayers amount to something like this: “Please God, give me such-and-such a boon, which I sorely need—but I don’t suppose you will, because you won’t think it is good for me.” Needless to say, a prayer of this sort is answered as all prayers are answered, according to the faith of the subject; that is to say, the boon is not granted. The truth is that the will of God for us always means greater freedom, greater self-expression, newer and brighter experience, wider opportunity of service to others—life more abundant.
Dwelling in love is easier some days more than than others. But here is something to remember that should help on those days it is more of a challenge. Do two things. First, remind yourself that God almighty wants us to be happy, loving, free, new and bright every day. Second, do something for someone else. He wants us to have what we need and will respond to faith in Him and love within us. If we pray to dwell in love, express our gratitude for our blessings, serve our brothers and sisters and pray with faith, God will respond. The first thing He will do is help you see the challenge of a difficult day as just another opportunity to excel, overcome, triumph and serve. The rest of your day will be much better.
Dwelling in love,
