Good
Morning!
My
"life" becomes much simpler and more enjoyable as "I
myself" become more intimately acquainted with The Lord.
"Knowing Jesus" is a process, and also a wonderful journey, one day
at a time! Some of you may be farther along on that "journey"
than I am, but I am so thankful for the progress that I have made and
will keep pressing on, determined to finish my course with
"joy"!
The
Apostle Paul accepted Jesus as his Lord on the road to Damascus. Then after
spending many years in the "ministry", and even after receiving so
much divine revelation from Heaven that inspired him to write most of The New
Testament; he says in Philippians, chapter 3, that the thing that was most
important to him, was to "know Christ" and to be "found in
Him"!
It
is through our "intimate relationship" with Jesus, that we find
out "who we are" and what our "purpose in life" is. When
this happens, things that we used to think were so important don't seem to be
as important anymore......that is when we will begin to "simplify"
our lives... (with The Lord's help, of course).
I haven't "switched" subjects on you; I
am still talking about how to "enjoy" your life by keeping it
simple, but in order to "build" something that will remain
"standing" after the "storms of life" come against
it.......you have to lay a "foundation"! That is what we are
doing, so don't get impatient........better to build "slowly" on the
Rock, than to build "quickly" on the Sand....(Matthew 7:24-27). More
"mortar" coming
tomorrow>>>>>>>>>>>>
