Listen from:
As the servants of Christ, doing the will of God. Ephesians 6:6
PH 6:6{Not until we have presented our bodies a living sacrifice can we prove what is that good, and perfect, and acceptable will of God. But in thus proving it, this continual presentation will be more and more seen to be our reasonable service, and becomes more and more a joyful sacrifice of praise.
The connection in Rom. 12:1, 2 between our sacrifice which He so graciously calls acceptable to Himself and our finding out that His will is acceptable to ourselves, is very striking. One reason for this connection may be that only love can really understand love, and love on both sides is at the bottom of the whole transaction and its results.
And if it seemeth good to Thee, my Father, Shall it seem aught but good to me?
Thy will be done! Thou knowest I would rather Leave all with Thee.
