Thy Will be Done





I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, "Move from here to there" and it will move.
Matthew 17:20

Well, this verse has always been the most inspirational verse for me, knowing well that I strongly believe in the Alchemist theory. I believe that if you have faith, everything is possible. But this has brought me to realize certain more truths about the Bible. I have always believed in the concept of God’s will too. The “Our Father” that we pray also says, “Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” This thought bought me to the first miracle that Jesus performed. The conversion of water into wine. This is the extract from the Bible:

1 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
   4 “Mother, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
And then Jesus performed his first miracle. The authorization that his mother gave, let him perform the first miracle. This authorization that God gives us, governs our lives.

Then I wonder, what is God’s will in my life? And I get the answer. I know God’s plan for me, because he is working his plan in my life, right now, every moment of my life is his Will.

We sometimes might have tremendous faith in something, in some people, but we are more than once disappointed. We then know it in our hearts, that it was God’s Will, it has always been God’s will. And God’s Will works through us. Through our hearts. So always listen to your heart. It will reveal to you the Will, it will unfold to you God’s plan. It will lead you to happiness, which u thought never existed.

Also, sometimes in living God’s plan, we might come across different phases in our life. Happy one’s and sad one’s and you might also wonder how can this bad phase be the Will of God? How could God let this happen? But when the bad phase is over, you will know the answer in your heart. I cannot reveal what you will experience, will be different for different feelings. But you will know and understand that whatever happens, happens for good :-). And just that’s the final statement. Because there is a time for everything…….

Another verse from the Bible:

There is a time for everything,
   and a season for every activity under the heavens:
 2 a time to be born and a time to die,
   a time to plant and a time to uproot,
 3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
   a time to tear down and a time to build,
 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
   a time to mourn and a time to dance,
 5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
   a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
 6 a time to search and a time to give up,
   a time to keep and a time to throw away,
 7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
   a time to be silent and a time to speak,
 8 a time to love and a time to hate,
   a time for war and a time for peace.

May we live out God’s plan in our lives by realizing it in our hearts. By listening to our hearts. We should never stop doing it. Because our heart knows things that only God can reveal it to us.
