"The one misery of man is self-will, the one secret of blessedness is the conquest over our own wills. To yield them up to God is rest and peace. What disturbs us in this world is not 'trouble', but our opposition to trouble. The true source of all that frets and irritates, and wears away our lives, is not in external things, but in the resistance of our wills to the will of God expressed by external things."
(By Alexander Maclaren) Taken from the book Joy and Strength
So true! A good reminder to submit my will and keep it submitted...day by day.
