Dear God,

So often we want you to think as we do.  We want you to baptize our way of thinking, being and doing.  But do we really, long term?

The beauty of faith is that you are God and we are not.  We do not have to make up rules, say who is in and how to do things.  Because we are human we will always be limited in our thoughts, ways and will.  The cosmos will grow smaller and smaller under our leadership.  We will begin to create boxes to live in and we will force others to live in those tiny spaces as well.  We will rob us all of the delight of faith and all its sacred pieces.  Who really wants to carry that burden and responsibility?

Thank you,

Holy God,

for being God.

Thank you

for allowing us

to share

in eternity's ideals.

Thank you

for making us

in your image

but not

giving us

all the work.

Love, Andrea
