It is a strange thing for a human being to want to do the will of God. People typically want to do what they desire and are not concerned about what anyone else thinks, much less Jesus Christ.

Yet Jesus felt he had a special relationship with those who sought God's direction. He said, "Whoever does God's will is my brother and sister and mother" (Mark 3:35). When he knew he would be leaving Earth, Jesus said, "I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever" (John 14:16). The Counselor - The Holy Spirit - is our source of wisdom today.
