Every new event in life has a beginning.  Every new chapter has a starting point.  Whether it is a marriage, birth of a child, new job, change in address, there is a starting point.

 

Jesus comes on the scene.  His first words are the building blocks of HIS entire ministry.  “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”  Short.  Straight to the point.  Simple.  Hard hitting. That is the message of Jesus Christ.

 

In all of life, Jesus made things simple.  So simple that is complicated to us.  Yet, we thrive in simplicity.  Growth comes from the simple things of life, such as a loving touch during a difficult time, kind word, a meal delivered, a hug, a friend who sits beside you silently, someone who just loves you as you are. 

 

This day keep it simple.  Enjoy the love that God has given you.  Don’t complicate it with what you have to do, but just enjoy HIS love and presence.  Enjoy a breathe.  Savor it.  Enjoy the touch of a friend, lover, spouse. Hold on to it.  There is so much this day God will give you, enjoy it.  You will notice that is the simple that will bring you joy.
