One of the most difficult tests to take is one in which there is a clash of the wills: God's will versus ours! The Lord's will, and way, must always prevail.
What the Father asks of us does not always make sense. Neither does His way or His timing. But, this is the choice that we must make, every second of every day: God's will, or mine? God's way or mine? God's timing, or mine?
The Father is not expecting sinless perfection from any one of us. But, He rightfully expects us to surrender so that He can use us for His purposes, instead of ours.
God is not as concerned about what we do for Him, as He is about our love for Him. The test of our love is our willingness to sacrifice whatever He may ask us to. The more yielded we are to His will, the more He can use us.
The more that we "die" to our wants and desires, the more territory He can claim within our hearts, for the advancing of His kingdom on this earth.
