The Will

Have you ever came to place in your life where there was a struggle to do God's will and your will. God is saying go to the left and another voice says go to the right. And here I am standing in the junction between two roads scared to take the left or the right. I know, if I travel on the left it is going to mean a lot of sacrifice which (includes relationship,money,time and loneliness) But if choose to travel on the right side then I guess I will not be satisfied with what I will be doing and yet to face disappointment not too far from the road.

Many times we can see in the bible those giants of faith struggled with their own will and with God's will. For an example Samson and Delilah, he absolutely knew that it was not God's will for him to get married to Delilah but eventually he did. And guess what ? He lost his eyes ! Another guy, Jonah in the bible. Ran away from proclaiming God's message to the people of Nineveh and guess what ? he was in the fish's belly three nights and days, he nearly died.


They are no different from me and you! but we all serve a compassionate and a loving God who respects our free will through out the journey of life. I guess there is always going to be conflict within each one of us and I believe the difference will be which voice do you choose to obey and are you willing to travel the path that God has called you to ? Unless Christ becomes the master of my life, my "will" often time will conflict with God's will. But when Christ becomes the master of my life 100% His will becomes my will automatically.


For Christ to become the master of our life, it is an ongoing process which we cannot attain perfection fully in a very short time but we should be open before God and ask Him to help us to do His will rather our own will. For when chose to be open before God and ask His help, we are on the pathway of making Christ as our master.


"I give myself to Christ so that I may find my real self because He alone knows who I am really"
