Jesus said of the Father, "Thy will be done in earth as it is in Heaven". We are commanded to put His will before our own, thus loving all (including enemies) as self. Do you see His will at work in the world around you? Do you see it on your tv's in the programs, commercials, and especially the news? Do you see it on your computers on the internet and all it has to offer, especially the social media? Do you see it in your neighbourhoods, communities, governments and especially the nations? Do you see it at home? I can guarantee that in a world we have built in our own image of self interest where animal instinct overrides the spirit, that the answer is a resounding no. Even religions are not exempt, for many of those within don't see how much the world of man had infiltrated what is meant to be an outside Kingdom, and the religion more resembles human government than the counter-culture of God. Remember when Christian churches used to execute their own as traitors for not following the church governance rather than the will and governance of God, where the institution was more important than scripture itself? Is there a tribal mentality in the will of God as there is in Christianity? If one is honest, the only place His will may be found is in an individual who is no longer brainwashed by fellow man, and they are a definite few and far between. A minority rapidly, as in the past, being cancelled by the culture of today's world. Do you see what failures we humans are as we pursue self interest rather than interest in the well being of others? God does.

Luke 16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
