I couldn’t agree more with you guys on this. I think as humans we share the same attitude towards God. “Why did you make it so simple?” As a human I want or feel I need to do more. If I do something I know is against God, I feel I really need to make it up to Him. Why, He never asked me to make it up to Him. He basically tells me, “We can talk about it, I already forgive you, so get over yourself and let’s get going.” That’s too simple for me, but if I don’t accept that I will never lose those 10 to 15 pounds. Sorry Doug, a little play on words.

I have heard this for a while now. “A simple message for simple people.”

I think deep down I have a love/hate relationship with the knowledge that the message is so simple. I love that God’s Will for us is so simple, that we are able to comprehend it and follow it. However, I hate that it is simple because simple usually does mean easy. I hate that it is simple because in most cases I know what is right, but make the conscious decision to not do the right thing.

A friend recently asked me if one day we will do the things we actually want to do, or, more specifically, stop the things which we do not want to do. Without much thought I told him no. But as he and I talked, and I’ve thought about it since then, we are capable of it, just truly, in earnest, do we want to stop? As we allow Christ to heal our wounds, and respond accordingly (making the right choice), the things we want to do begin to shine.

Some Audio Adrenaline lyrics come to mind: “If I keep my eyes on Jesus, I can walk on water.”

Doug I think our problem is we have too many excuses why we don’t do those things. My favorite show is on, I have to go do this, I have to go do that. I remember before my dad passed away him calling me to come help him do some stuff around the house. I was “too busy” and had “too many things to do.” I remember thinking to myself on the day he passed… I just wish I would’ve spent more time with him, and I remember trying to think what I was doing on those days I couldn’t help him… I couldn’t!!!! I often times think that our life with our eternal father is like that and by choosing not to spend time with our God now, are we gonna regret it in the future and be forced to ask ourselves what we were doing that was so important not to spend time with him?

Wow and uyy at the same time! Lord you are truth, rock solid. You are love pure, sacrificing, activiely working in ways I cannot even imagine. In our relationship you are clearly wiser, more experienced – wise enough to let me fall and get back up again and again and not hold it against me. How great is that? I’m not so great at relationsships (still learning how to really love my husband of 32 years) but Lord step by step you’re teaching me what it is to listen, to trust you. Lord in this moment, I choose to move beyond my illusions of safety towards your heart. Today, and just one day at a time, help me Lord to put on your armor and to shout unto you God with a voice of triumph!! Thanks for loving me, being so patient with me. Sabrina
