Simplicity

It's the simple things in life that make life that much more enjoyable.

A warm bowl of soup on a cold day
A hot cup of tea
A simple poem
A simple sigh
An empty park bench under the shade
The presence of a loved one
Your pastor saying I'm so blessed by you
Simply letting go
The list goes on...

Why make something simple complicated? I've struggled with simplicity cause I guess I like to make things complicated. Jesus makes my life simpler. Yes I do run into complications all throughout my life, but simply trusting in Him, life becomes more enjoyable as I wait upon His blessings.

Sometimes the most simplest of things are the most complicated. It's easier to do things our way rather than trusting Him, but immediately when He takes over, the ride smoothes out.

We need to let go.
Let Him take over.

I wish to simply be and receive.
As I receive His perfect love.
May I return with joyful gratification.

He is the vine.
I am a simple branch.
Apart from Him I can do nothing.
Literally.

I wish to live simply.
