Sacrificing Personal Desire


If in fact God is the God of all creation and He created you and me, then I think that it’s okay for Him to ask us to put some effort into knowing what His will is. I assure you that if you are touched by His Holy Spirit, then you will fall in love with Him, because you will be touched by the heart of God, by the heart of true love. As we learn and experience God’s heart, we become willing to sacrifice ourselves and lay down our lives. That is part of the experience of knowing God; we must receive His Word and lay down our lives and get out of the way so that He can live through us. The point is not my will but His will be done, this way humanity (you and I) can experience the healing power of His love.
If we are all selfish and self-centered then His will cannot be done on this earth and people’s lives will not come to an understanding of His love. If we are willing to surrender, and sacrifice ourselves to know Him, then He is able to work through us and bring healing to the world around us. In my opinion this is the key that unlocks the doors of true fulfillment here on earth.
