A lot of trouble is bound to come, when you desire to do God's will. You'll be misunderstood left, right and centre - even by your own brothers and sisters. You'll want to quit at some point... maybe even collapse to the ground. All your mistakes, errors and failures will be exposed. All your sinfulness too. And oh, you get to die every day. Pain and trouble will be your friends indeed. Loneliness too. Maybe those you trusted to stay by your side... will disappear in your darkest hour.
And maybe... maybe... you might misunderstand God's will at one point or another. You'll probably sink while walking on water. God may not meet your expectations nor grant your dearest wishes.
Will you still seek to do God's will anyway?

The events in life on earth is a dress rehearsal for the actual play that is in eternity. Pain and suffering that comes is not unexpected when rehearsing for the performance proper but the real show... the actual stageplay is one to perform for the audience and the stage manager.
Are we prepared to accept our roles in the stageplay? Will we participate in the rehearsal if we knew what would happen to us?
Eh... juz my thoughts. Wif regards to your questions, for me, yes I would if I listen to God intently. ^__^
Oh! That's such a beautiful analogy. :) I like it very much. Thanks Jia Xiang!
