Have you ever noticed that Jesus rarely said, "God wants me to..." or "God told me to..."

On a couple of occasions directly out of a time of prayer, he might have said something like, "I'm (we're) supposed to..." but I have a hard time thinking about specific times where he plays the "God card."  This is a "top of the head" type of thing; so I can be wrong.

He did talk about generically everything he does is of the Father's will.  Especially in the Gospel of John.

He just acted and let people decide.

So what?

Why do we (me too) say, "God wants (or told) me to..." so much?

Are we afraid that God doesn't want us to so we justify our actions to other people?

What if we just behaved in a way God wanted us to (without any disclaimer) and let people decide?

Do we not know his will well enough that we need to play the "God card?"

Maybe that would be too scary.  After all, some people didn't like Jesus and tried to push him off a cliff, stone him and eventually had him crucified.

These are all ideas running through my head about this thought.  I'm guilty of all the above.  I'm praying God opens my heart to the cure.
