Will of God

All that God wills, the servant of God also wills, because the will of God is the object of his desire and delight. He rejoices that God desires something from him and that God reveals to him what He wishes to have done. This motivates him to perform it whole-heartedly as the Lord’s will. “Doing the will of God from the heart” (Eph. 6:6) (Wilhelmus à Brakel, The Christian’s Reasonable Service, I:4).
