Don’t complicate your life by trying to understand what is wrong with your friends and family members who don’t agree with you about everything. After 5 years of marriage, I still don’t have Kenji figured out. But I found joy when I simply quit trying to understand why he likes to watch sports and be a couch potato. I have learned to be a sports fan and watch TV series on a marathon, so now I’m a couch potato myself. LOL! How’s that for a change?
In other words, you can’t really love people until you quit trying to rework them and find joy in who they are. My life got real simple when I finally realized I couldn’t change people.
God can change someone if He wants to, and if He doesn’t, it’s because He doesn’t want to. So I might as well trust God. Trust is simple. Casting your cares on Him is simple.
The Bible message is simple: Love God and love others.
The gospel is simple: Jesus loves us, this we know. Why? Because the Bible tells us so!
Even the plan of salvation is simple: Jesus died for us. He paid the price for our sin. How much simpler can it be?
It is amazing how a straightforward, uncomplicated message change your life and bring joy.
Jesus came to simplify your life. Satan wants to complicate your life, but God is not the author of confusion.
There are so many people in the church who are not really serving God with their whole hearts or their whole lives. Their lives are a big, complicated mess because they have one foot in the kingdom and one foot in the world.
