"For it is God who is at work in you, both to will
and to work for His good pleasure."
(Philippians 2:13)
The guidance of the Spirit is generally by gentle
suggestions or drawings, and not in violent pushes; and it requires great
childlikeness of heart to be faithful to it.
The secret of being made willing lies in a definite giving up of our
will. As soon as we put our will on to
God's side, He immediately takes possession of it and begins to work in us to
will and to do of His good pleasure.

Holy Life
