How do we know the difference between self-will and God's will? Self-will/ego can be tricky. It can even disguise itself as being spiritual. I certainly have fallen for ego's convincing behavior many times, but what I have learned is that God's will comes from a place deep in our soul. Ego is of the mind. If the inner voice is loud and pushy, it's self-will. God's voice is quiet, kind, never controlling.
