Re: Simplicity
D4T....great post.
I was saying bedtime prayers with my 5 year old son a couple weeks ago when he told me that he wanted to die. I was shocked...but I asked him why. He said because he really loved Jesus and just really wanted to see and be with him. Later on that night I was still thinking about his answer when I felt God speak to me(he usually speaks to me in my thoughts)....he said that here is a 5 year old who is so detached to everything in this world....that he would leave it at a moments notice to be with Him...and that as his parent it is my job to help him keep this perspective. I felt so lost and hopeless because I realized that I couldn't help my son keep this attitude if I didn't have it myself. This started me on a path to rid myself of these attachments.
Just a thought....could this be one of things Jesus meant when He taught we should be as little children....be unattached to the things of this world....no matter how good or noble or holy or churchy they may be....be so unattached that we would leave it all in a moments notice just to be with Him.
