THY WILL BE DONE…
Dear Friend,
Thy Will be done, therein is the real secret, Thy Will be done. Not my will. When I began to think about what to share with you today I first thought I would talk about instances in my own life when I was in accord with God’s Will. The more I thought about it, the more I began to understand that when I come in accord with the Will of God, His Will is being done in my life anyway and things go the way that it should. It’s only when I take control in my day-to-day that my life gets mucked up. Some questions came up for me, like, what is my true purpose in life? Am I really in accord with God’s Will and God’s perfect plan for me? Am I truly always consciously aware of God’s will? Am I allowing God’s will to be done in my life or am I exercising my free will instead?
In one of Harold Klemp’s book, The Spiritual Law of Life, some definitions that are given for “The Spiritual Law of Soul” are, “Soul has free will, opinions and intelligence…We have been created out of [Divine Spirit] to have free will, to make our own choices…We have the ability to run our own life according to the laws of Spirit.” The more I thought about this, the answer became clear for me that many of my challenges were a direct cause of me not being consciously aware and oftentimes too self-willed. When my life experiences were going well, I was consciously aware.
I recalled a story my mother told me about my maternal grandmother on more than one occasion. Or maybe she told me once and it left such an impression on me that it feels as though it was repeated more than once. The story revealed to me how God will have His way no matter what. God does not wear a watch and probably time is not even part of His vocabulary. My grandparents, John and Ella Jacobs were probably born and raised in Mississippi. They had 14 children. They were given some land to farm and grow cotton. My mother said that the sound of God’s voice came to him, day and night; night and day, for many, many years, saying, “John, go out yonder and preach my word.” When he was tending cattle, picking cotton, tilling the soil he would hear the sound, “John, go out yonder and preach my word…” He was not able to sleep. He could not concentrate. He thought other people could hear the sound that was only meant for him, “Go out yonder and preach my word.” No one could hear those words though.
My grandmother would ask him why he wouldn’t obey God and my grandfather would say to my grandmother, “Ella, I just can’t do that.” He was not an educated man. He most probably felt he wasn’t worthy. I was told that he was set on having his way for him and his family, not God’s will. He took to drink and he was a gambling man, just trying to escape the sound. The sound haunted him 24/7 and nearly drove him to madness, constantly, “John, go out yonder and preach my word.” After many years of running from the sound, he was beaten down and gave up. He surrendered to Divine Spirit and cried out for God to have His way with him, that His Will be done. He obeyed the sound and found his true purpose.
What is your true purpose? My purpose is to serve and be a servant to all life. I am reminded daily to surrender. In true surrender you will find what your truth is and what your purpose is.
Blessings,
Brenda
If your consciousness or your experience changes in any way, in your life, I would love to hear about it.
