God's Will

I always thought the discernment of God's will was difficult at best and likely only understood by "Holy" people. I have a startling revelation at age 51.

In the Book of Common Prayer, there is the Great Commission. It goes like this.

"Hear what our Lord Jesus Christ saith. Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and all thy soul and with all thy mind. And the second commandement is like unto it. You shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On this hangs all the law and the prophets."

I was always looking too hard and trying to make God's will incredibly complex. It's simple. God wants us to love Him and love each other. If we follow that in all we do, we are following God's will.

It is not what occupation you choose. It is not the friends you keep. It is not the clothes you wear. it's all about love.

Peace.
