What is God's will for me? - Beatitudes and freedom

We often wonder what God's will for our life is. In the sermon on the mount (Matthew 5), Jesus gives us an answer. It is an answer that may not seem so practical, but it goes to the heart of the matter. God's will for our lives is not a rulebook to fulfill. It is an interior attitude that changes everything from the inside. The perfect example of this interior attitude is found in Jesus Christ himself, who teaches us to do everything for God's glory and for the salvation of souls.
