The Root of Our Problem


When did it become all about us
When did we start using God rather than simply enjoying Him
When did He become our magic genie in a bottle and not our God?

When did we stop wanting only Him and to be with Him
When did we stop wanting only to gaze and not to demand of Him
When did we stop wanting only His grace and not His gifts?

God wants only our love and our worship in return for His love and wisdom
God wants only our gratitude in return for His graciousness
God wants only our presence in return for His Presence.

Our problem is that we use God then abandon Him
Our problem is that we use creation then abandon it
Our problem is that we use others and then abandon them.

Our problem is how we see and relate to God, creation, and one another.
The root of our problem is
When did it become all about us?
