We must will to know God, just as we must will in order to possess the life He has given us. The human will must be subdued and trained into the Will of God. It is a great power to have a strong will, but a greater power to give that will to God. The will is what we do, the understanding is what we know. Will and understanding must be one in the Cause of God .
Intention brings attainment.
It is obvious that if no goals are set, there is nothing around which to organize our behavior. Being without goals, without resolve, betrays a totally passive orientation to our Faith. They must show forth such trustworthiness, such truthfulness and perseverance, such deeds and character that all mankind may profit by their example. Almost anything worthy of achievement will require perseverance through hardships. The one in pursuit of anything must undergo difficulties and hardships until the object in view is attained and the great success is obtained.
