by David Gosa So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them,
for this is the Law and the Prophets. -Matthew 7:12 Why are the simplest things in life sometimes the hardest things to do. I found some interesting quotes about simplicity. Maybe you have heard several of these before. “Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” “Don’t make the process harder than it is.” The last one hold true in my life. As a kid my Dad would continually say to me, why do you constantly make everything more difficult than it needs to be. Unfortunately, it just in our nature to make simply things challenging. As I was reading Matthew 7:12 “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. The first thing that came to my mind was “WOW” that’s really simple, but why do people constantly mistreat people? As Christians we need to make sure that we treat people the way that we want to treated. I truly believe our world would be a better place if we spent more time building people up, then storing up information to tear them down. As you go about your Lenten journey I would like to challenge all of you to think and say something nice about every person that you spent time with during your day. Prayer: Heavenly Father, let me cling to you in all my challenging times. Help me to build others up throughout my day. Amen.
