not my will, but YOURS be done.

Kierkegaard emphasized that as Christians we love to live a sagacious lifestyle, carefully living safely with complete levelheadedness, thus, denying the need to live in and by faith. We, as human beings, want to secure our own future, again denying us the necessity of faith. Scribes, Pharisees and Sadducees lived this way! The question should not be one of personal significance and / or comfort, but the essential desire to DO the will of the Father. When we care more about our own needs, wants and desires than that of loving God and neighbour, we are, in fact, ignoring the essential message that Jesus lived and proclaimed.
