The Bittersweet Paradox

It's frustrating to me that even though I may have the best intentions of doing the will of God in your life, somehow, it all seems to be thwarted by my own desires and will. I suppose that is the whole point of the refining process, the killing of one's desires and will and replacing them with God's. This quote was encouraging to me.

If a man or woman is called of God, it doesn’t matter how difficult the circumstances may be. God orchestrates every force at work for His purpose in the end. If you will agree with God’s purpose, He will bring not only your conscious level but also all the deeper levels of your life, which you yourself cannot reach, into perfect harmony.

--Oswald Chambers

It is frustrating... but hang in there... eventually, your own desires and will, will become like that of God, because you seek to be like him. And THAT is encouraging! In time my friend.
