You are sometimes so funny and amusing, dear God when you act like our daddy as if like dilly dallying on whether to tell us something he is planning knowing so well he is the father and the master that we his children must obey and abide by his will and order.
How nice of you, O Lord to act so decent, so good full of kindness and consideration to make us feel important with what you have in mind of our role and part in your divine plan because when you act like one of us that is when you also want us to act like you, to think like you to be holy like you.
The Lord reflected, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do (to Sodom and Gomorrah), now that he is to become a great and populous nation, and all nations of the earth are to find blessing in him? Indeed, I have singled him out that he may direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just, so that the Lord may carry into effect for Abraham the promises he made about him." (Genesis 18:17-19)
But more than acting and thinking like you, O God, is for us to love like you that is why sometimes Jesus sounds too harsh and difficult to follow, challenging us to let go of our own desires and usual ways of living in order to love you completely and selflessly.
Jesus answered him, "Foxes have dens, birds have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest his head." Another of his disciples said to him, "Lord, let me go first and bury my father." But Jesus answered him, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead." (Matthew 8:20-22)
We pray, O Lord, for our leaders in the Church and in government to be more committed in serving your people than in serving their own interests; enlighten them of your ways, Lord, of your kindness and mercy dispensing justice swiftly where there is outcry against sin. Amen.
