Not my will

Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

Luke 22:42


Christ could have easily saved himself on the cross, all he needed to do was just tap his fingers, say sth and He's saved. But He didn't wanna do want he wanted, He wanted to do what His father wanted.
Imagine if Christ had saved himself, we would have never been saved, each person will have to fight his own battles.


Our being saved depended on Christ doing His father's will, similarly, someone's life might depend on us doing God's will. If it were about us, we may not have to read the bible, pray, intercede for others or even be faithful to God. But really, it ain't about us, It's all about Him, so doing His will should be our first priority.


We should live each day of our lives with this motto "Not my Will but thine O Lord" and we'll never miss it.
