SIMPLICITY
Here’s what I want you to do:
Find a quiet, secluded place so you won’t be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense His grace (Matthew 6:6).
It’s essential that we don’t get distracted by “dos” and “don’ts,” but remain focused on the power of hoping and believing in Christ as evidenced by our love for one another. Simplicity does not mean that things are simpler or less demanding. It means that anything superfluous and not needed is discarded and replaced by what is necessary. The Bible states over and over that it is not sacrifice but obedience the Lord seeks—and our love walk demonstrates that obedience.
We know we are led of the Spirit when we choose love. Keep it simple. Walk in love. This is how you will uncover your authentic self, created in the image of love. Just be yourself before God, for God loves you just as you are! And being yourself before Him is how you can love Him in return. Love being yourself. True religion is real living; living with all one’s soul, with all one’s goodness and righteousness. —Albert Einstein
