Dear Sisters,
God is simple.
In no way am I demeaning the work of so very many wonderful theologians in our church, but the truth is that God is simple.
Follow if you will the logic of this:
First, God is truth. He is not both truth and deceit.
God is Love. He does not love and hate.
God is Good. He is only good and never bad.
God is Powerful. He is never tired or weak.
God has revealed Himself as a Simple Nature.
I've taken a hard look at my life and have realized that anything complicated isn't coming from God. If I feel conflicted, it is my weakness that makes me so. God is simple...
I've pondered this so much lately. I've looked at all the crooked paths of my life and the crooked people that have come my way. I've looked at the deceit, the errors, the pain and have realized that this wasn't from God. Of course He's used all of it for good, in His wonderful simple way.
God in all his splendid simplicity stood by me at every turn and bump in the road. In His truth, love, goodness and power He sustained me, taught me, corrected me and invited me to join Him in His Divine Simplicity!
So lets take a look at our lives. Are they complicated? Do you have relationships that are a mess? If so sisters I ask you to meditate on God's simplicity and ask you to see that it is the enemy that is throwing a wrench into your lives. Ask God with all his simple power to help you to stay on the simple path.
God's way will never turn your journey into a knot; a knot, that Our Lady is so adept at taking apart. No, if we follow Him in all his simplicity, the way will be clear and sure.
God is simple!
As I continue to knock my blockhead on wood for Good Luck, simple never occurred to me. Seeking good luck is not worthy of my spiritual journey.

John 14:6 (NIV)
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
You are right, Viv. It is simple.

We often try to find the 'magic' that will make everything okay. God tells us that He is the journey, He is the companion, He will take all the stupid and make it right. It's simple when we keep our eye on Him. We trust that all the suffering makes sense to Him. God only wants our good. Nothing less. Trust in His goodness! Simple!
DeleteGod continues to work in our lives, knots come from nowhere, our Lady under of knots. Take care of out nots that we need help with. Jesus, we trust in you. My New Years saying is Jesus I believe, help my unbelief..
