Too Much Too Little

You are too much.  Could you be less?  Less passion. Just less. You are overwhelming. Less confrontational? 

You are too little.  Could you be more?  More present. More available. You are too allusive.

I have heard both.  Have I said both to God?  Maybe at times.  These are his sufferings, he hears them a lot.  Sometimes I hear them too. 

We want him to be silent when He speaks.  We want Him to speak when He is silent.

We also want a God of our own making, instead of the One that He is.

We want people of our own making.   Me too.  Sometimes I wish to script, block, and emotion coach the world.

“No, don’t say that- say this…”, or, “Don’t say it that way, say it this way…” , and “Don’t stand like that, or walk that way, or hold that countenance- do it like this instead.”

I disappoint and I am disappointed.  Too.

Plank eye.

So, next time I hear too much or too little- I will say, I know…me too.
