Seeking God’s Will: The Foundation of Lasting Relationships

Seeking God’s Will: The Foundation of Lasting Relationships The readings explore the themes of friendship, commitment, and obedience to God’s will. The Homily begins with a discussion on the nature of true friendship, emphasizing that genuine friendship requires discernment, testing, and trust. The Homily contrasts shallow acquaintanceship with deep, enduring relationships, both among people and in one’s relationship with God. The idea that God also tests His friends to reveal the strength or weakness of their commitment is a central theme. Seeking God’s Will The Homily then transitions into the Gospel teaching on marriage, highlighting that many people approach relationships with a mindset of personal convenience rather than seeking God’s will. The Pharisees’ attempt to test Jesus regarding divorce reflects humanity’s tendency to challenge God instead of submitting to divine wisdom. Jesus responds by redirecting the conversation from legal permissions to the fundamental question: What is the will of God? The key message is that true friendship—with both people and God—requires obedience, self-transformation, and faithfulness, even in times of difficulty. By seeking God’s will first, rather than prioritizing personal desires, one can cultivate meaningful relationships and a fulfilling life. How, again, do we determine God’s Will?
