Bread for the day

Today's Gospel reading is on the "Our Father", the prayer Jesus Himself taught us.
It is such a short prayer but it gives us an idea of who God is and of who the human person is.
God is Father. His desire is to bring His Kingdom into this world and it is an altogether different kingdom from what we are familiar with.
The human person is a creature. Despite our advances in almost all areas, our first act of contact with this world is a pure gift: God's desire that made us come into being. And our lives are always beyond us. We cannot decree when we will get sick or when we will get well. We know that we will die but we don't know how or when or where.
I don't want to sound morbid. This is just to remind me that I am always in God's hands, dependent on Him. For many, it may be a big issue and they may even read there a psychological disorder. But I am not disturbed, because in life we are really inter-related.
This God is so infinitely creative that what we consider as dirt would be a masterpiece for Him; what we think is a terrible misfortune could be a providential experience.
The more I become convinced that God is my Father, the more it will be possible for me to be happy with what I have for the moment. I will not desire for more, nor will I be tied to what I have.
I know that God provides me with my bread for the day, and that is enough for me.
