It is true that I have given mankind free will. What joy would I have if I had programed the will of people to do My will. Mankind was designed to choose just as Adam and Eve chose wrongly in the garden.
The surrender of a person's will to Me does not come easy. The lust of the pride of life is ever present to block such a surrender. The pride of life is simply trusting in yourself more than you trust in Me.
You face this battle daily because that lust will always be crying out to be satisfied.
Solomon wrote, "Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths." Will you surrender your will to Me today?

Lord - Help me to trust you. Stop me from going it alone. Give me a heart to pursue you. Help me throw off all the entanglements that so easily besets me. Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full into his wonderful face, and the the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of his glory and grace.
