27th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Today we hear our Father calling out to us and inviting us into relationship with him. Instead of trusting him, we so often turn to our own ideas and seek to satisfy our desires on our own through sin because at our core we don't trust that God can make us happy. What would it look like if we gave our Father the chance to show us what it means to be a child instead of an orphan, to trust instead of be self-reliant? We were made to be children and to be loved by our Father. We were made for him and he's waiting for you.
