Don't Resist God

Friend, our Lord asks us to live simply.

We, love to live grandly. We love to adorn ourselves and our surroundings.

The world constantly screams at us to buy this or that and promises fanciful things in return.

If we have this car and this home and take these vacations and dine at these restaurants and wear these clothes and on and on, we will have a happy and enjoyable life, the world says

But God, Almighty God, says, "Live the simple life."

Why?

Because a simple life allows for reflection on God and Who He is.

And, He meets us in those reflective moments and enlightens our thinking.

Friend, don't resist His calling on your life.

I can assure you that He and His Holy Spirit are constantly knocking on the door of your heart if you do not know Him.

He is not a respecter of any person's status in this life. You may be a king or pauper, and if not born again of the Spirit, He is calling you into a relationship with Himself right up to the minute of your death.

It is a condition of our entry into this earth.

Somehow, someway He will make Himself known to you.

You however, may turn your head and pretend you did not see, hear or feel Him.

Friend, stop and listen and learn of the One Who Loves beyond how anyone on this earth could ever love you.

He has so much to teach us.

He knows each of us individually.

We may think we need something to go forth in life, ( Oh, if only I had "that" then I could do great things, or how happy I would be), but He can look at our whole life and our future and begin to blaze a new trail for us that leads to Everlasting Joy and Happiness in His Kingdom, when He has our full cooperation and committment.

Just enjoy the ride!
