Good Morning!
 
I am going to get back to the subject that I like talking about more than any other subject......"simplifying our life"!  The reason I love to share what The Lord has revealed to me about this, is because it has made such a difference in my life.
 
Jesus wants us to "enjoy" our lives....He made that very "plain and simple" in His Word!  This is what He said in John 10:10..."the thief comes only in order that he may steal, kill and destroy. I came that you may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance-----to the full, till it overflows".
 
The devil is the one that wants us to "complicate" our lives, so that he can steal our "time", our "peace" and our "joy"!  Complication causes "stress", and stress keeps us from having "peace and joy"....if we have no peace and joy in our lives, then how are we going to be a blessing to others? That is the very reason that Jesus said that He wanted us to have joy that "overflows" (read the above scripture again).
 
People don't need your "stress" to overflow and "spill out" on them....they already have enough of that!  But when your "joy" overflows and "spills out" on them, they will want what you have!  This gives you an open door to share with them about your "source" of peace and joy....which is "Jesus" and His Word! 
 
This is the reason why we need to "simplify" our lives....it is not just for our own benefit, but for the benefit of others!  If you really want to know how to "simplify" your life, and eliminate the "stress" so that you can be blessed and be a blessing to others, then stay "tuned in"......I will be talking more about this~~~~~
 
Have a Blessed Day!!             (Keep it "simple"!)                  In His Love, Luanne
