ABRAHAM: Our Father's most valuable gift to us is the gift of [[free will]] and that includes the right to make [[decisions]]. He is not in any way ever trying to [[control]] you, for that takes away the [[purpose]] for the [[existence]] of His children. Even from my own standpoint now I wonder at times at my choices made. I do have full [[intention]] of always choosing Father's will, but still now and then my personal [[desires]] can override my intentions. This is known and completely [[understood]] by Father. [[Control]] is somewhat within the realm of [[power]]. Many individuals seek power, and therefore, they must control. Those who choose Father's will have real power and can [[achieve]] great things all for the [[glory]] in whom all power stems from. A good measure for you to use when [[discerning]] choice and control is to ask your deepest, most [[highest self]], 'what is most important?' Is it something that feeds the [[ego]] or is it something that [[glorifies]] [[the Father]]? Is that at all helping? (It is a beginning.) One more question.

LUKE: So what is the [[difference]] between being stubborn and Father's will and knowing that or being stubborn in our [[thinking]] that we must [[achieve]]--a guy like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Edison Thomas Edison]. How many times did he try to get the light bulb right? I feel there is a [[path]] that is right and peaceful, energetic and I know it is right. Am I making sense here?

ABRAHAM: I am believing it is a matter of [[experience]], [[growth]] and spiritual [[maturity]]. There are so many levels to view this mortal [[dilemma]]. Many individuals are afraid to [[share]] every aspect of life with Father, because they think that Father does not want for them what they want for themselves. If mortals knew that Father desires their [[contentment]], [[comfort]], [[security]] and [[abundance]], they would not have the inner [[battle]] or as you say 'be stubborn.' If you can believe that Father knows the [[desires]] of your [[heart]], and
