Simplicity is SO underrated, but, is SO healthy! When we exist in simplicity, we are ABLE to SEE through the tinsel, and, lures of the world; instead, APPRECIATING the IMPORTANT things, like the beauty of Nature, FULLY hearing a beautiful song, taking in the scents of life, partaking in the joys of Children, admiring the elderly, and, ALL those wonderful GIFTS of *GOD*, which, ENRICH the being!!!
When we exist in simplicity, we are able to find MANY ways to be entertained, BY what *GOD* has brought forth, for our senses to welcome! We are less bored, less distracted, less anxious, and, less in a hurry, all things which deception uses against us, as it entices us to rush to bigger, better, more!!!
MOST Artists of every dimension/genre, have tapped into the simplicities before them, and, have worked this simplicity to some form, to share with the world! I think creative people are more aware of their surroundings, and, because they NEED to create, in order for their gifts to be expressed, and, fulfilled, they innately, know HOW to make such, come to life!!!
Simplicity runs DEEP through the veins of time, for purpose, and, sound reason! When we KEEP it simple, life blossoms, and, flourishes, internally, and, externally, FILLING the whole! *GOD* KNOWS that the lures of the deceiver are more visible, which is why HE gave us insight, awareness, and, the opportunity to see life from HIS eyes, via THE WORD, HIS WILL, HIS WAYS!!!
CHRIST, our LORD, and, SAVIOUR, was ABOVE all Mankind in intelligence, character, behaviour, and, knowledge, yet, remained HUMBLY simple, throughout HIS life! There IS reason for this, because, life on this Earth, holds attraction of the wrong kind, which, HE FULLY experienced in HIS being tempted by the evil one, for 40 days, and, 40 nights, PLUS, HE IS *GOD*, and, IS ABOVE the NEEDS of this world....
Society is, largely, moving so fast, no one can keep up with what is necessary, and often, cannot even afford quality time for their own Families, Friends, and, others! We are caught up in a race to succeed, acquire, accumulate, and, arise! We are intrigued by the game of outdoing others! We are burning the wick from both ends, and, ignoring the DIVINE CENTER of the being!!!
I have been around, done MORE than my share of living in the fast lane, and, I can tell you, FOR SURE, simplicity IS KEY to a life fulfilled, happiness, PEACE of mind, health, and, more! Personally, I believe simplicity opens UP to a bliss, which, is out of this world!!
MUCH LOVE, *GOD* BLESS us ALL, and, may we come to our TRUE senses, and, enjoy this journey, under HIS protection, provision, LOVE, and, guidance!!!

Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. ISAIAH 43:19...
SLOW down, take it EASY, read THE WORD with intent, and diligence; give it time to meld into the being; it IS imperative TO allow it to seep into the heart, the spirit, the being!!!
Thanksgiving for the LORD's Favor
Psalms 138 (A Psalm of David)
1/ I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
2/ I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
3/ In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
4/ All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.
5/ Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.
6/ Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.
7/ Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
8/ The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me:
thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands... AMEN!!!

One CANNOT earn GRACE, it is HIS own ESSENCE; a gift, still, IF one claims to be IN HIS GRACE, we ARE to, or, OUGHT to, be reflections of that GRACE! 2 CORINTHIANS 6:1, tells us not to take HIS GRACE in vain! This means, living in LOVE, morality, ethics, virtue, righteousness, and, spiritual improvement, TOWARDS, spiritual maturity, WHILE, visibly BEING as LIGHTS, beaming OF *GOD*, beckoning the world, TO THE LIGHT! Righteousness MEANS, conduct in conformity with *GOD'S* WILL, and, "Be HOLY because I AM HOLY!", therefore, indicating that knowledge, wisdom, and, effort, DO, apply TO the righteous!!! NEVER forget, we were grafted in, and, if we do not bear fruit, as a dead branch, we will be pruned out, just as were, the natural branches!!!
We are not saved by works, instead, works PROVE HIM in us: they identify HIS own...

IF I claim ONENESS with *GOD*, through CHRIST JESUS, I am DEAD TO THE WORLD, THUS, LIVING as HIM, which is, hopefully, witnessed IN, and, THROUGH, my every thought, action, and, reaction; MEANING, I am, THROUGH CONSCIOUS application OF THE WORD, HIS COMMANDS, HIS WILL, REFLECTING righteousness, not, merely, FAITH! I become, the TRULY FRUITFUL branch, of THE VINE, the TRUE member of THE BODY/THE CHURCH, CHRIST JESUS, and, TESTIFY, then, GLORIFY, BOLDLY, BY my thoughts, actions, and, reactions, HIS name, because, HE IS WORTHY, and, IN HIS LOVE, has SHOWN me, how I OUGHT to exist, to which, I eagerly, adapt, and, comply!!!
MATTHEW 5:48...
So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect
1 PETER 1:14-16...
14/ Like obedient children, do not act in compliance with the desires of your former ignorance
15/ but, as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in every aspect of your conduct,
16/ for it is written, "Be holy because I (am) holy."
ROMANS 12:2...
Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect.

Conduct, in conformity to *GOD'S* WILL, marks the righteous; it is NOT because of guilt, or, ancient Laws, but, because of LOVE; LOVE for *GOD*, self, then, others! CHRIST JESUS gave us Commandments to live by, of which, the first is to LOVE *GOD*, with all of your mind, heart, and, soul; the second is, to LOVE one another!
LOVE COMPELS us to LIVE IN HIM, through conduct which conforms to *GOD*; in other words, morality, ethics, doing good, and, being good, and, ever striving to improve the spirit! It is about REFLECTING THE TRUTH, for ALL to bear witness to, FOR, and, TO HIS GLORY, RADIANTLY SHINING OF HIS POWER, GRACE, and, MERCIES!!!
It IS ALL ABOUT LOVE, baby, all about LOVE!!!
MATTHEW 4: 17...From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
JOHN 14:15..."If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

NOTE: I do not intend to preach, rather to reach; to stir up, awaken, to inspire, and, bring forth, in discussion, that which is, perhaps, dormantly existing in the heart of hearts, thus, little, or, no, sugar coatings, just THE WORD of *GOD*, the TRUTH, along with some of my thoughts. And truth is, I am reminding myself always, as I practice these reminders, in the best of my abilities, and capacities, while RELYING on THE LORD to lead me on that narrow PATH---> MATTHEW 7: 14: "For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it...

MALACHI 2:7-8...
7/ "For the lips of a priest ought to preserve knowledge, and from his mouth men should seek instruction—because he is the messenger of the LORD Almighty.
8/ But you have turned from the way and by your teaching have caused many to stumble; you have violated the covenant with Levi," says the LORD Almighty...

In this way, the warriors of PEACE & LOVE are empowered, with strength, fortitude, longwithstanding, therefore, enabled to create ripples in the minds, & lives of mankind...
