In this depressing state the Holy Spirit reminds you gently that you are sad because you are not fulfilling your function as co-creator with God, and are therefore depriving yourself of joy. This is not God’s choice but yours. If your mind could be out of accord with God’s, you would be willing without meaning. Yet because God’s Will is unchangeable, no conflict of will is possible. This is the Holy Spirit’s perfectly consistent teaching. Creation, not separation, is your will because it is God’s, and nothing that opposes this means anything at all. Being a perfect accomplishment, the Sonship can only accomplish perfectly, extending the joy in which it was created, and identifying itself with both its Creator and its creations, knowing They are One. T-7.VI.13:1-7

If you think your will is out of alignment with God’s will you will be depressed, and anxious. Separation of your will from God’s does not allow for peace and joy. Doing our own will and thinking that we can control our life only leads to frustration, discouragement, resentment, guilt and fear. When we “hit bottom” we finally realize that there must be a better way and we begin to search to find a way to bring our will into alignment with God’s will for us. If God is with us who can be against. Aligning our will with God’s will miracles happen.
In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning which, of course, lies in doing God’s will which is to love unconditionally.
Today it is suggested, once again, that we ask ourselves continually “What would Love have me do?”
