What is God's Will for me in this moment? That was a question I heard recently. The homilist had the point that if I am thinking about God's Will for me that is something happening tomorrow or in the future, then I have it all wrong. I should be thinking as I navigate through my life--What is God's Will for me right now?
This hit home because I must admit that I often think of God's Will for me as something happening in the future, not in the now. So, I tried to practice asking myself that question as I went through my day. I concluded that God's Will included such mundane things as --drive home safely, pack my lunch, take out the trash. But, as I went through the day thinking of God's Will, it made me feel closer and more intimate with God. I could feel God's love and care.
God's Will for my life is taking place minute by minute. It is by and large in the small everyday things. Most of life, even for saints or celebrities, is made up of the little things. But, each of those little things has significance. Each thing I do is important in its own way. What is God's Will for my life? To live it. To live it.
