“Our heart is restless until it rests in You, O Lord"
 (St. Augustine, Confessions, Prologue)”


iYes, looking, dear brother or sister that you are not satisfied with the existing reality and not stifle the anxiety of your heart that you refer to something bigger ... that means God and His plan of love that He has designed for you in the palm of his hand. Then, you too can in a certain way to thank the anxiety that makes you look up to heaven and made you say, like St. Francis of Assisi: "Lord, what do you want me to do?"
Having said this, but you is so hard to find out what God wants from you? But you really understand how God speaks?  Once a bishop of Rome so he said: "God speaks clearly, but not too much because we want cooperate with our intelligence and our time" which is the time that God has put at our disposal in this short temporary life.

Imagine that there is a bank that each morning credited the sum of 86.400 euros on your account. Do not keep your balance daily. Each night remove any amount of your balance that was not used during the day. What would you do? Retreating all to the last penny every day, of course!
Well, everyone has an account at this bank. His name? TIME.
Every morning this bank credits you 86.400 seconds. Each night remove this Bank and how lost any amount of this credit that you have not invested in a good purpose. The Bank does not retain nor permit money transfers.
Every day you open a new account. Each night remove the balance of the day.
If you do not use the daily deposit, the loss is yours. You can not back down.
There are no credits on the deposit tomorrow.  You must live in the present with the filing of today.  Investing in this way to get the best ... The clock continues its journey, you get the most out of every day.

So the question that arises spontaneously is: "But you Engaged with all your intelligence, you have given all your time to discover the full will of God be upon you, or have you devoted so only part of your intelligence and only in their spare your free time? Are you afraid to ask and find out what God wants from you? Well, you're not the first, but remember this is a project well your love, and He came not to take away your freedom, but rather came to make you free, because only the truth will make you free for eternity.  And remember that in every moment of our brief and only life, with our "yes" or "no" we play all our eternity, where you reap what we sow!

You know, once upon a time a kite. Was tied to a thin wire and hung in the air, like dancing, guided gently by the skilled hands of a small man, his creator.
The kite was happy to see him smile as he danced, but one day he felt the desire to go higher, to fly alone and realized that that thread, that thread thin prevented him.
Suddenly exile wire that had been the union with its creator became overwhelming for him as a chain.  The kite began to writhe, to give jerks to curse the little man who held him prisoner. So stirred that at some point the line broke.
The kite began to fly alone, free at last, happy to dance in the wind without chains.
The little man called him, begging him not to go too high, but the kite now free, not listening his words.
Suddenly the wind became stronger and began to throw him from all sides, dragging him into a mad rush.
It wanted to slow down, stop for a moment, but could not.
The wind hurt him with his deadly volleys, sent him to hit the tops of the trees and could not avoid them. The branches tore the sharp shreds of paper, put a strain on his frail skeleton.
The kite began to be afraid, thinking that his flight would soon be gone forever.
The kite looked down and, under him, it saw the little man running frantically, trying not to lose sight.
Longing for that smiling face, but the wind gave him no respite, seem to enjoy tormenting him.
Suddenly the wind began to subside and the kite he thought that it would soon be finally stopped. He looked straight ahead and saw a large puddle that was growing closer.
He felt a shiver of terror, but could not change direction. The water received him ina deadly embrace, and felt the paper soften, discard slowly.
Its the end – he think - but then, suddenly felt a hand gently lift family. The little man, all stained with mud, wiped patiently nursed his wounds, placed her slender frame and tied it again with that little wire.
After some days the kite returned to fly tied to that thin thread in the hands of the little man.  He knew it was nice to fly with him, dance for him and that thin thread did not seem a cruel chain, but a sure footing, a refuge from adversity.
He understood at last that freedom is beautiful, but has a price to be paid.

So, if the will of God you have not tried everything yourself, so He says:
« So I will allure her; I will lead her into the desert and speak to her heart » (Hos 2,13 ) ...
