It’s the Simple Things

Jesus was a simple Man/God and His message was so simple we sometimes think He is a joke when He tells us to chill because God clothes the grass of the field….  and how much more us? Or we should be anxious about nothing but to let our request be known unto Him. Just say the word and it's done? For real? 

Yes for real, but why don't we see it,

feel it or taste His goodness as soon as we need it? Oh yes we do.

Sometimes the simplest things of life are the most difficult to practice in the moment that we need it the most. Try to breathe normally when you are anxious and desperate about a situation, or try to fall asleep when your loved one is in trouble or struggling for life in the emergency room, or try to eat when your appetite is gone because something else is consuming your mind. 

Simple things such as breathing, eat or sleep becomes rocket science only because we can't seem to understand the connection between laying it all down for Him to take over and the supernatural power He gives us to stand the storm in those moments.

This morning I told Him: 

“Papa,  figure this thing out for me, and I am not going anywhere. I am standing my ground and I will not deny myself the simple things of life. You told me I should trust you and that is just what I am doing. Just let me know, feel and taste you when you are done.”

My dear, life can be easy when you know the man you serve upstairs. As a child of God we will fall, we will struggle, we will doubt, but one thing stands!!! He has our back no matter what, He will work the puzzles out.

As  long as you don't give up on your faith you will continue to enjoy the basic simple things of life while in the storm.

This man is truly not complicated and our life should not be.

Get out of that self-pity stage and keep moving.
