The ego tries to teach that you want to oppose God’s Will. This unnatural lesson cannot be learned, and the attempt to learn it is a violation of your own freedom, making you afraid of your will because it is free. The Holy Spirit opposes any imprisoning of the will of a Son of God, knowing that the Will of the Son is the Father’s. The Holy Spirit leads you steadily along the path of freedom, teaching you how to disregard or look beyond everything that would hold you back. T-8.II.4:1-4

In the Garden of Gethsemane as Jesus was contemplating what was to become of Him at the hands of the Romans, in His anguish He finally says, “Thy will be done.” As the Romans were killing Him He said, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” Jesus was free. He did not see Himself as a victim. He rose above the world of the ego and had already entered the Kingdom of God when He aligned His will with the will of God. Most of us will not be executed physically by the dynamics of the world of the ego, but we will have opportunities to choose to be free from it.
In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning which eventually will take us to discerning God’s will for us with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Today it is suggested that we reflect on our challenges, and the decisions that we are having to make. It is further suggested that we ask the Holy Spirit to help us discern what God’s will is which fundamentally is our own whether we are consciously aware of it or not. God’s will and our own is choosing the path of unconditional love instead of conditional love..
