Lord, when, Lord? |
The Apostles gathered together with Jesus and reported all they had done and taught. He said to them, "Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while." People were coming and going in great numbers, and they had no opportunity even to eat. So they went off in the boat by themselves to a deserted place. People saw them leaving and many came to know about it. They hastened there on foot from all the towns and arrived at the place before them.
When Jesus disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.

Lord,
They were like sheep without a shepherd. You saw how lost they were and even though you were tired, your compassion moved you to 'feed' them.
How long did I wander lost? A long time. So why do I grieve so much for her (my daughter)? I believe she will return to you. I actually have no doubt and there is not much that I have no doubt about.
Impatient, you said it in confession today. You are impatient with me. Your impatience gains you nothing. It does not move me faster, it does not change circumstances. It does not change facts or anything, but it does cause you anxiety and anguish and grief. It steals your peace and joy. If you know she'll be back and you know it will be the perfect timing, then why not hand it over to me completely and live in the present. Life is passing you by as you are stuck in your head going around and around getting nowhere.
