Topic: “Service and Surrender of self-Will”

Description: Rev. Jay McCormick talked about how confusion comes when there is not yet a clear and complete surrender of the false will.  Joy comes from the choice to serve, because the choice to serve is the choice to relinquish conflict.  Since there is only one Will in reality, and Will is of love, to be aligned with Reality and God, we must surrender our imaginary will fully.  We either choose conflict or love.
