Doing the Will of My Father

The faith that one is loved by God.  That faith that one is loved by God although unworthy — or, rather, irrespective of one's worth!...

Humanistic love will not serve.  As long as we believe that we hate no one, that we are merciful, that we are kind by our very nature, we deceive ourselves; our hatred is merely smoldering under the gray ashes of complacent optimism.  We are apparently at peace with everyone because we think we are worthy.  That is to say we have lost the capacity to face the question of unworthiness at all.  But when we are delivered by the mercy of God the question no longer has a meaning.

Hatred tries to cure disunion by annihilating those who are not united with us.  It seeks peace by the elimination of everybody else but ourselves.

But love, by its acceptance of the pain of reunion, begins to heal all wounds.

If you want to know what is meant by "God's will" in man's life, this is one way to get a good idea of it.  "God's will" is certainly found in anything that is required of us in order that we may be united with one another in love.
