When our will, what we desire, collides with God's will, it brings confusion and conflict. That is when He is bringing us into a deeper level of knowing and seeing Him at work in us, and through us.
Will we willingly follow? Will we let Him send us out? Can we really say, "Let Your kingdom come, let Your will be done on earth in my life as You have it in heaven."
Matthew 6: 9-10....... A lot of us pray, but do we pray as Jesus taught us? Singing these lyrics and really meaning them from the depths of our heart, must really please the Lord Jesus..... "Oh humbly we bow. Surrendering all to You. We lay down Lord. Do what You want to do." ... Truly ,truly not at all easy. It is a growing process . Remaining in the vine like Jesus said. John 15: 4-5 "Remain in Me and I will remain in you." It 's the only way. Apart from Him we can do nothing.
Matthew 16:24-26, "if anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself". Let Him have His way. You see, everything revolves around His throne. Who of us knows the mind of the Creator? What He is orchestrating in and through our lives that may not make sense to us at the time. There is so much beauty to be seen in everything, if we look at this life and it's conflicts with kingdom purposes. It's allowing the gift of the Holy Spirit through you, to touch the people He places in our lives. Even the hard ones, and the hard things that come our way.
Truly it is life changing if we allow the Spirit to take us deeper. You want more of heaven? Then we must die to self.
