Thy Will Be Done by Andrew Murray

12 Thy Will Be Done
The glory and the blessedness of heaven consist in
nothing but this, that God's will is done there in and
by all. There is nothing to hinder God's working
freely and fully all His blessed will in its countless
hosts.
To all that He wills for them of goodness and
blessedness and service their whole being is
surrendered
in submission and adoration. God lives in
them and they in God. They are filled with the fulness
of God.
In the Lord's Prayer our Blessed Master teaches
us to come to the Father with the wonderful petition,
that His will may be done on earth, even as in heaven!
He calls us to open our hearts to think and
lift them heavenwards in real desire and prayer.
He bids us count upon an answer, and according to
the power that worketh in us,
in such measure as we are fitted for ;
expect the experience
God's will done
in us and by us, on earth, as it is in heaven. The
God who works it in heaven—is our Father, who
delights to work it on earth. The blessedness of
earth cannot possibly be other than that of heaven:
let our hearts desire and delight to have the will of
God done.
Thy will he done, as in heaven, so on earth !
These
chapters invite you to come and meditate on this
petition, if
so be the Father may, by His Holy Spirit,
