It's so simple

It’s so simple

I don’t know about you, but I tend to overcomplicate things. Especially when it comes to my relationship with God. It’s so difficult for me to wrap my head around the scandalous grace that’s been lavished on me - and I don’t think I’m alone either. Our whole life we’ve been trained for performance. For example, you do good on a test, you get your paper on the refrigerator. You audition well, you get casted for the part, or make the team. Maybe that’s why the author of Hebrews tells us to “strive to enter His rest”.

It’s counterintuitive.

Let Brother Lawrence’s words wash over your performance-based self:

“Men invent means and methods of coming at God’s love, they learn rules and set up devices to remind them of that love, and it seems like a world of trouble to bring oneself into the consciousness of God’s presence. Yet it might be so simple. Is it not quicker and easier just to do our common business wholly for the love of him?”

It’s so simple || May we sense Him every moment || And make our whole life a prayer
