Just me trying to be honest with God.

“Purity of heart is to will one thing.” Sören Kierkegaard

I want God’s will. The problem is that I also want things contrary to it. This inner conflict is a daily, and often a moment to moment battle. I am tempted to pass judgment, or be critical or angry or selfish or the many other “wrapped up in oneself” attitudes. But I also have the calming presence of Christ inside, calling me the other way. One is the path of peace, the other a path of turmoil. The peace comes from not only knowing what God wants, but in surrender to it.
