"Simplify your life", I think that's the most important lesson everyone needs to learn. Life wasn't designed by God to be hard, full of identity crises, inferiority complex and all. God intended us to have life and have it more abundantly. Jesus made this clear when he said "I have come that ye might have life and have it more abundantly". There's no joy in living a life that isn't yours. Imagine if you wore the clothes of someone three times your size, or two times smaller than your present size. How uncomfortable would that be?
When we choose to live life by the Spirit we enter into a life of rest. More so when the Word gets a grip over our minds and heart, it cuts out the habits and mindsets that make us live a life that doesn't bring glory to God. I particularly loved my Zonal Coordinator while serving in NCCF. He demonstrated simplicity. He was the same while preaching as he was while relating with fellow Corps members. He spoke the Word fervently and yet knew how to be just like everyone else.
With this, it can be said that Simplicity breeds humility. Don't envy, hate or try to impress others. You've got to be comfortable in your own skin. Walk in the reality of your identity. It isn't that complicated to live this life.
Also, in relating with our Father God, it is necessary that we understand the simplicity. Remember what Paul wrote: "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ". When it becomes hard to relate with God, it might just be you've added man made theories to God's simple injunction to COME. Every time Jesus was amongst the people he did not refuse anyone that came to Him. He RECEIVED them.
Come Boldly to Him today. Call Him Father!
Central Truth: In Christ life is simplified.
FOCUS SCRIPTURE: 2 Corinthians 11:3
PRAYER:
LORD, I come based on your injunction. Through your word cut out every mindset that doesn't please you in Jesus Name.
