God’s WillThe question arose naturally, "Would you say that God’s will for each person is some specific thing? That God wants each of us to do something very specifically, or do you mean something more general, like becoming a better person?" "I think it’s both," the Bishop responded, "I mean, each person in his own circumstances is called to bring the knowledge of God and God’s love to those around him, or her. So it becomes very specific when you think, ‘Who’s around me? Around me are my family, my children, my wife, my husband, the people I work with.’ Thus, it becomes very specific that God wants people to manifest his love, goodness, kindness, and forgiveness, and to try to work for justice in this world amongst those who are deprived in so many ways — whether economically, politically, or socially." "Please, what is the process by which a person becomes fulfilled or gets to live in God’s will?" "The process is living in faith, faith in God: trying to be led by the Word of God — scripture — personal prayer and prayer within the church; also, hearing the Word of God proclaimed and spoken and explained, and trying to reflect on these things in your own personal life. You should consider how God is trying to lead you in your particular circumstances of life." |
