Being God can be a bit exhausting, not that I know it from personal experience, but after seeing the comedy "Almighty" it is evident that the work is more difficult than most of us could imagine, with all those prayers and endless requests.
In the film the actor "Jim Carry" plays a frustrated television reporter who gets stuck in the traffic, he is fired, he is beaten and can not get rid of a dog that constantly urinates in his favorite chair.
God, why do you hate me? - the reporter shouts
I have never really asked that question, but in some moments (even full days) I have come to feel like the height of one of God's jokes.
Those days you leave the house and you realize - too late that the elastic of your pants has disintegrated, or when you lose your way to a job interview, or a bird decides to lighten the load on your new blouse yield
In the comedy the actor "Morgan Freeman" plays the role of God, and offers a challenge to the man who considers himself an ant under the child sitting under the blazing sun holding a magnifying glass on the ants that writhe in the hot earth , before this God says.
- Do you think you can do better? Here is your opportunity. And then let the unhappy human lead the universe for a while.
At the beginning it's fun, because you can separate the waters in a sea in a bowl of tomato soup, erase the clouds and enlarge the moon, increase the bust of your wife and let everyone win the lottery even if the profit is $ 17 per head. Intoxicated with power the reporter shouts: Do my will!

It is frightening, but only because it is capable of expressing it. Most of us would not be so bold as to say it out loud, but our will always seems to be much more fun than God's.
I used to fight when I gave my life and my will to the Lord, because I was afraid that he would send me a boring life, with a little time of fun and no sex. Who would not like to play the role of God? Where would you start?
You would have to do the obligatory elimination of poverty, disease, hatred and evil in the world. Make the blind see; the deaf make them listen; the liar ones make them walk. You already know all the promises that the Miss Universe winner makes at the end of the ceremony, holding a bouquet of roses larger than a six year old child.
Every baby is born healthy and during childbirth does not experience pain, in addition all the young people will go for free to the university, instead of that the weekends have two days to do them of three days.
If you want to see a miracle be the miracle, that's good advice for all of us mortals instead of looking for proof of God's work in magic tricks, find it in the moment, instead of looking for miracles from above find them inside, in instead of looking for the sky above it creates a portion of this here, instead of looking for a sign of the presence of God in a bush that burns, a rallo or a statue that cries, experiencing it at every moment and everywhere.
When there is a tragedy or problem, we tend to ask where God is, imagine if each one of us took the initiative and said: Here is God, right here in me; right here in you.
God is in each one of us, in the midst of each tragedy and problem. It is up to us to maintain intimacy with God manifest in our lives and thus become the miracle of God here and now.
