Yesterday I was talking to my oldest daughter Chaynee. We talked about how the choices in life that bring life are simple choices. We came to the conclusion that simple and easy aren't the same thing. Here are our examples:
It is simple to get off the couch and exercise not easy.
It is simple to open a book and read not easy.
It is simple to believe in yourself and others not easy.
It is simple not to talk about others not easy.
It is simple to order clean food not easy.
It is simple to not drink coke not easy.
It is simple to hear the voice of Our Father not easy.
It is simple to overlook an offense not easy.
It is simple to forgive not easy.
It is simple to show mercy not easy.
It is simple to be compassionate not easy.
It is simple to LOVE not expecting anything in return not easy.
I fear that just like the devil deceived Eve that we will also be deceived and forget the simplicity that is in Christ! May the Father by His LOVE for US give us the power to make the simple choices to allow His kingdom to come and His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
