Simplicity
The disease of superficiality is fatally infectious and threatens many lives. It finds it’s way into the mirror at a very young age for most and relentlessly taunts. For some, it taunts with a negative connotation- speaking the ‘why’s’ of inadequacy. For some, it proves false positive affirmation based on a value system completely un-biblical. It finds it’s way into the living room of most families, whispering lies that bigger is more comfortable and ultimately better. It convinces that in order to have good relationships, one must have a certain ‘freedom’, usually intricately connected with money.
Simplicity meets this disease in it’s most disgusting, ‘grody’ state. You see, simplicity has nothing to prove. It sees things without a tinted haze, confidently able to correct an issue without fearing contradiction. You see, simplicity has nothing to fear because it does not depend upon an image for happiness. Simplicity is able to decipher between what contradicting social cries are true, and understands the long-term value of each. Simplicity is proved by a consistent lifestyle apart from circumstances. Having more or less money wouldn’t help simplicity decide how she spends it; she would already know. Simplicity relieves the pressure to focus on anything except God; therefor giving us freedom to serve.
Everything that simplicity acquires is merely for the kingdoms sake, not her own.
Live fully, Live simply.
