SSJE: Desiring God's Will

Agatha Nolen March 1, 2018

Today’s Question: What does God will for your life?

Br. Keith gives an important example in today’s video. Br. Keith, “And the other kind of rushes in with a certain kind of self-will, even if it’s a very subtle self-will – there, in that instinctive moment where we fail to listen, where we fail to give space to the other, with whom we desire intimacy. That kind of instinctive self-will can really be an impediment to developing the kind of spacious intimacy that we desire, both in our human relationships as well as in our relationship, our unfolding relationship with intimacy with God.”

I think today, I will set aside my list of the things that I want and ask God, “What do you want to do today?” It is almost a form of prayer, but I need to demonstrate that I’m willing to give up what I want, for the wants of another. And who better to ask than God?

Please enter the discussion: What does God will for your life?

Blessings, my friend,
