DOING GOD'S WILL The language of Jeremi- ah as he addresses his yearnings to God--he says, "You duped me, O LORD, and I let myself be duped" (Jeremiah 20:7)--indicates a close and personal relation- ship with God. It is one the prophet obviously cherishes despite the derision and reproach it brings him. In the Gos- pel, Jesus indicates a similar bond with his Father. In spite of the difficult challenges pre- sented by following God's will, Jesus is not deterred. Giving up our own worldly cares and dreams, even as we ac- cept pain and suffering, is more than a fair ex- change for doing the will of God. The only way to do God's will is offer our whole selves to God. As St. Paul writes in the Letter to the Romans: "Do not conform yourselves to this age but be trans- formed by the renewal of your mind" (Romans 12:2a). Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.
