Simply Integrity
We have to choose to be the influencers ourselves. We have to choose integrity of God’s mission in us and carry it out.
Work with Joy
Whatever it is we do, starting with our thoughts and going through our decisions, actions and words, must be done for Him
Love One Another, John 15:12-13
I guess we are all well aware of how difficult it is to love one another. At least how difficult it is to love every one another.
Simply Extravagant Generosity
We are not to stop at our own limits, but at his: to pursue doing good, helping others and being extravagantly generous.
Run our own Race
We must recognize our own race, our own God-given priorities and then choose them above all else, in order to then place the priorities of others in their proper place.
Simply Grace
By giving ourselves grace and acknowledging that our priority was right, serving him and doing what he wants for us to do, we have no reason to carry the burden of disappointment.
Seed of Simplicity
That focus helps us trust in him when we are distracted, trampled, superficial, fearful, worried, negative. He is here and he is the focus and the solution.
Pearl of Simplicity
We are not at all like the merchant, seeking the best deal in all the land. The merchant who finds a priceless pearl.
The Secret of Contentment
I guess I want Paul to say something like ‘And the secret is…’ so that I would know exactly this secret of contentedness - and he does.
Intentional Living
Many people find the word ‘simplicity’ a turn off, mainly because there may be a push for ‘less stuff’ or ‘do less.’ However, that is not my focus.
Simplicity and Peace
It is this slaving to the external world, to the expectations of society, to damaged and damaging concepts of success that we must throw off in order to achieve peace.
