“Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!” (2 Corinthians 9:15).
The best way for a person to truly enjoy life — with depth, peace, and purpose — is to maintain a full, ready, and joyful acceptance of the divine will, which is perfect and unchanging in all things. This means recognizing that nothing can come from the source of all goodness, which is God, except that which is, in its essence, good. The soul that understands this learns to rest. It is not offended by the Lord’s ways, does not question His decisions, and does not resist His will, because it understands that everything is being conducted by an eternal rule of wisdom and love.
The truly good and humble person lives in harmony with the divine plan because they see, even in difficulties, the hand of a loving Father. They recognize that there is an infinite and omnipotent Love governing everything — a Love that withholds nothing out of selfishness or jealousy, but gives itself generously to creation. This Love guides, corrects, sustains, and transforms, always for the good of those who choose to trust. And what makes this real trust possible is the certainty that God has revealed to us the secure foundation of life: His powerful Law, given by the prophets and confirmed by Jesus.
This Law is the foundation of happiness. It is the clear, safe, and holy path by which we can live in tune with the divine will. When the soul stops resisting, ceases to bargain with its own desires, and humbly accepts to follow God’s Law completely — without exceptions — then everything that is good begins to flow naturally from the Creator’s heart to the heart of the faithful. Peace, joy, direction, and salvation no longer need to be sought as something distant. They come to dwell within the soul that has completely surrendered to the will of the Father. -Dr. John Smith. See you tomorrow, if the Lord allows.
Pray with me: Dear God, I thank You for teaching me that the true way to live with peace, depth, and purpose is to joyfully accept Your perfect will. Thank You for reminding me that the soul that trusts in Your guidance rests — does not question, does not resist, but surrenders, knowing that everything is being conducted by eternal wisdom and love.
My Father, today I ask You to shape my heart so that I may live in total harmony with Your divine plan. May I recognize Your hand even in difficulties and learn to see Your care where before I saw only obstacles. Teach me to fully trust in that infinite Love that keeps nothing for itself, but gives itself generously to guide, correct, sustain, and transform my life. May this trust grow in me each day, nourished by sincere obedience to Your amazing Law.
Oh, Most Holy God, I adore and praise You because You have revealed to me the foundation of true happiness. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is like a living current that connects my heart to Yours, causing peace, joy, and salvation to flow into me. Your commandments are like sacred gateways that lead me to harmony with Your will, where all that is good ceases to be a distant promise and comes to dwell within me. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
