We must accept all of God's will for us, not just those portions that happen to appeal and bring instant gratification and pleasure to us.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The first thing that we need to say is that God is grieving, too. Uh, a lot of people try to make it sound like 'well everything that happens is God's will.' That's nonsense. God allows everything, but God does not choose everything.
Living big and joyful and content is almost always the result of our finding satisfaction in life's ordinary day-to-day pleasures. And God must be fond of them, too, for He made so many of them for us to enjoy.
Within all of us is a divine capacity to manifest and attract all that we need and desire.
It is not God's will merely that we should be happy, but that we should make ourselves happy.
God is not willing to do everything, and thus take away our free will and that share of glory which belongs to us.
We are spirit children of a loving Heavenly Father who placed us in mortality to see if we would choose - freely choose - to keep His commandments and come unto His Beloved Son. They do not compel us. They cannot, for that would interfere with the plan of happiness. And so there is in us a God-given desire to be responsible for our own choices.
The lusts of this world leads us to fulfill our carnal need to be accepted, but as children of God we are already accepted by a Heavenly Father who is over and above all things.
Free will is an illusion. People always choose the perceived path of greatest pleasure.
Our Heavenly Father is pleased when we don't compromise our faith and principles in times of desperation.
When we obey God, we're not doing it for God... we're doing it for ourself. Because God takes pleasure when we're happy.
