'Nevertheless not My will
Nevertheless not My will
As we go through life — we learn more and more to doubt our own wishing and choosing, as we see how little really comes from our own ways and plans. We learn not to choose at all for ourselves, but to prefer God's choice for us.
No doubt we miss heavenly blessings at times, because we do not have faith to receive them in their disguise of pain or grief, preferring our own way to our Father's.
Then God sometimes lets us have in our willfulness, what we persist in choosing, just to teach us that our own way is not the best. We learn at last to plead, "Bless me, my Father," not daring to tell Him what way the blessing should come — but preferring that it should be as God wills.
"Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will , but Yours, be done." Luke 22:42
