Romans 12: 2b - "...that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."
I guess many of us wonder about what God's purpose for us may be, God's will for our lives. These comments from the late Elizabeth O'Connor point in the direction of taking a look at how God has put us together for clues about the divine will.
"We ask to know the will of God without guessing that his will is written into our very beings. We perceive that will when we discern our gifts. Our obedience and surrender to God are in large part our obedience and surrender to our gifts. This is the message wrapped up in the parable of the talents. Our gifts are on loan." -- Elizabeth O'Conner, Eighth Day of Creation, Word Books, 1971.
