"Nevertheless Not My Will, But Thy Will, Be Done"
Our walk with Christ is a journey of spiritual healing, not a checklist of accomplishments. We must resist the temptation to constantly ask, "Am I growing?" The Saints teach us that dwelling on this question leads us away from God and toward the pride of the Pharisee, comparing our "stats" with others.
If we obsess over our progress, we turn our relationship with God into transaction rather than transformation. We are called to simply do our duty without expecting praise, remembering the words of the Lord: "So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, 'We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do'" (Luke 17:10).
Metropolitan Anthony Bloom taught that the only true indicator of spiritual healing is our willingness to do what God wants us to do. It is not about how many spiritual disciplines we master, but whether our will aligns with His. When our hearts genuinely echo the surrender of Christ - "nevertheless not My will, but Thy will, be done" (Luke 22:42) - we have found the only measure of growth that truly matters..
~Fr. Andrew Jarmus, Dean, St. Mary's Orthodox Cathedral, Minneapolis, MN
