What is God's will?

From the July 1982 issue of The Christian Science Journal


How deeply have you pondered the fact that your identity, your very being or real selfhood, is the deliberate, explicit expression of God and of His will? The entire creation is the consummation of His will. Manifesting the infinite "I AM," His ideas or children are unique in their individual identity.

The infinite divine Mind, God, is the self-creative intelligence, eternally revealing only goodness, perfection, harmony. Since the aspects of "will" include purpose, motivation, and determination, these aspects must be consistent with His nature, infinite Love, Life, Truth.

In the universal prayer we know as the Lord's Prayer, we pray, "Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."Matt. 6:10. Mankind's quest for God, the awareness of His power and presence in human experience, is fulfilled only by understanding His will for all His beloved children here and now.
