Philippians 2:13, "for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure."
This verse says that God works in people so that they "will" (ie. want/desire) according to "His good pleasure".
By this means, God can get people to do whatever He ordains without violating their "freewill" because He DETERMINES their "will" which they, in turn, FREELY act upon.
The question is then, "If God is the ultimate determiner of what we will/want/desire, would we be able to perceive that it is He who is at work in us"?
Can we identify the source of our will/want/desire?
