We had a vision of a ministry to support people who had certain needs.
Simple. We copy from other ministries that people knew. We listened to someone with myriad ideas, powerful personality, a well thought out, yet complexly structured, ministry.
Not so simple.
We began soon discovering life doesn’t fit complex theories.
We found the path, the simple path, the path that led some toward health.
Isn’t that like our lives? We try to live by following complex theologies or philosophies. It really doesn’t work. We still haven’t found a life imbued with the fruit of the spirit.
Love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Aren’t these the qualities of life we seek? Not through following complex theologies and philosophies. It’s the simple life in the Spirit.
Maybe pick one for the day. Perhaps try to intentionally be kind to yourself this morning and then to everyone and everything you meet along the way.
