The Will of God
It
is not always easy for us to know what God’s Will is. There are many
misconceptions about what is meant. Many fundamentalists believe it
means a life of sacrifice and giving up all of life’s pleasures.
Nothing can be further from the truth, God would not have provided all that he has if he had meant for us to not partake in the rewards of life. While it is true some sacrifice is involved,life isn’t meant to be all work and no play.
While there is some sacrifice involved, it only means giving up some of our animalistic instincts and developing self control. It means taking control of your life and treating others as you would be treated.
It means living by the Will of God, or doing as your higher self or God would desire you to do. This is different for every one, we each come into this life with different life paths to follow. Hence doing “your” Will of God can be different than someone else’s.
In a way it has more to do with following that small voice inside each of us and allowing it to guide us in making the right decisions in life. It has much to do with character building, probably even more than treating others correctly. If we work on improving ourselves, then treating others correctly will come naturally.
Forgiveness is important, however that doesn’t mean we always give others a free pass on their transgressions. They also need to be accountable for their deeds. It means providing others a means to learn, grow, and provide for their basic needs. It doesn’t mean providing a handout unless they are unable to provide for themselves.
When their karma is interfered with and we take the opportunity from them to support themselves and families, a great injustice is done to them. They then become slaves to the providers, that is not God’s Will. God wants all of us to be free to make our own decisions and learn and grow from the experience.
God’s Will can mean many things to many people depending upon how they were taught growing up. However, there are as many misconceptions in this field as there are in any phase of life. I strongly feel following the Will of God has less to do with how we treat others and more to do with following the guidance we receive from “The Source”. If we follow the true instincts felt in our gut, we will be following the Will of God, and all other aspects of our life will fall into place.
