Funny how I had forgotten something so simple.Yes, how we forget.
Or it is that we are deluged with complicated?
Life is hard. Too many choices, too many tragedies, too many theories, too much incoming data. And that is just what is swirling around us. Throw in the people we have to deal with, no matter how much we love them, and the mind and heart simply move into overload.
How do we ever participate in simple?
I only know to offer this:
Schedule time to remember.Whether it's shower time, drive time, quiet time, or stroll time, use that time to ask God to show you simple.
Life begins at conception and really before that, because God had you in mind all along, before your parents even came to be.
God paints scenery exclusively for you every day in the sunrise and the sunset, in the face of a stranger, in the giggle of a loved one.
There is nothing you or another can do to be separated from God's unconditional love. You are loved utterly and completely for always for all time, regardless of how you see yourself or what you may have done or not done.When you begin to remember the most elemental truths of the universe, you enter into a rare and profound space:
You accumulate simple, a treasure offered by God, found in the scheduled time with Him, purposed by Him to help your heart deal with complicated.The power of cumulative, scheduled time and remembering simple.
Life-giving.
