Do you ever feel that you’ve done the Lord’s will only to feel hurt or regret of some kind? Does following Christ’s commandments seem oppressive? Such moments must have occurred often throughout the history of Christendom. Maybe it’s because we didn’t do God’s will, but what if we did?
No matter how bad we feel, we must remember that God knows what is best for us. God wants what is best for us. After all, we don’t know what would have happened if we had turned the other way. Things probably would have been worse. At least in the long run, our ultimate happiness is secure by following God’s will.
Oh, so easy this is to write, but how hard it is to live!
