Going It Alone

I don't know why we try to live independently of anyone else, to depend only on ourselves, to go it alone.  Even God did not act that way.  Jesus often speaks of how he is united to the Father, how he does the will of the Father, how he does nothing without the Father.  Maybe there is a point here for us mere human beings.  Yes, I am the one who does an action, a task, a work.  But which work or task?  Sometimes I have the choose.  Certainly, I am not in control of results.  Lots of stuff can interfere with my plans of how things should work out.  Maybe life is best done in partnership.  Jesus found it that way.  Now, he is always hanging around, waiting to be asked, invited into this project we call "my life".
