Yet another Lesson On Will.

The Beloved One: “Come with an open heart before Me, so I can impart a deeper truth. We have previously discussed the doing of the Will of God. It needs to be understood that this is not ever a must on your part, and neither is the doing of God’s Will coerced on the part of God. The doing of the Will of God is simply the desire to do good to others, without recognition or recompense. It is following the instincts of your heart, which in actuality are My prompts for you to act.

“The doing of the Will of God needs to be a desire, a joy in the human heart. It is in the spreading and practicing random acts of kindness. It is being of service with a sincere, truthful and loving heart. In love, light and peace are embedded. If you consider yourself to be a lightworker, or a peace-worker, then you work under the umbrella of love, although it is not so named in this manner.

“God is Love, and His Will is Love, His Acts are Love and this Love finds further expression in the lives of myriad created and evolving creatures. The created beings express themselves in loving service and the doing of God’s Will is inherent in them, and thus they serve Him willingly. Not so with the evolving creatures. They are different in that they have the choice to love or not to love. Choices and decision turn creatures into individuals, and they greatly differ from each other -- personalities, in which either the weaker or stronger characteristics can become the dominant trait, and this depends again on how much self-discipline and self-correction is engaged in.

“The personality, living on the surface of life and does not engage in independent thinking, falls easier prey to all sorts of addictions and self-indulgences. But a personality, who actively seeks for the purpose and meaning of life, and finds value therein, will progress to greater harmony and balance within self.

“Worldly education and letters behind one’s name are no sure indication of a well-developed and harmonious inner life. The more unpretentious you are, and without discernable ego, the better off you are, going about in an unassuming manner, doing God’s Will. There is an innate drive in some to be of service. The greed-motive is never connected with altruistic service. Many works done in the Name of God are just that; in name only, as there often is a hidden agenda, and the urge for recognition is involved.

“The Father always knows the intent and motivation of the human heart, even if it is not apparent to the outside world.

“Again, ponder what the doing of God’s Will means to you.”
