Our Will and God’s Will
The
Lord has given the Holy Spirit upon the earth, and in whomsoever He dwells,
that one feels paradise within himself. You might say: why hasn't this happened
to me? Because you have not given yourself over to the will of God, but you
live according to yourself. Look at the one who loves his own will. He never
has peace in himself and is always displeased with something. But whoever has
given himself over to God's will perfectly has pure prayer. His soul loves the
Lord, and everything is acceptable and good to him.
St. Silouan the
Athonite
