The Beauty of Simplicity

Often I am amazed at how the Holy Spirit works in my life, when I am struggling to understand a concept, or to show another how I feel it is because I have never experienced it. And then the Spirit puts people in my path to show me what it means to be enfolded in love, to show me exactly what I couldn't figure out on my own.

He gives me the exact right people and situations that I need in order to wrap myself in Him and then share what I have learned. I know that He hears my prayers when these miraculous sendings happen. He helps me see how to express what I feel in a way that is loving and filled with Him, so that I do not harm the object of my struggle.

It is hard to give someone information that is painful to hear in a way that is loving, when you've never been on the receiving end of the same. It is an easy concept, learn from those around you and share the knowledge. It is a beautiful simplicity. Which reminds me of a song (shocking, I know)

The Beauty of Simplicity
by Telecast

It's the beauty of simplicity, that brings me down to my knees
I'll praise you for eternity, and Lord I love you
Because you, you first loved me.

It's the beauty of simplicity, that fills me with eternity
I've tasted your divinity, and Lord I love you
Because you, you first loved me.

And all God's people say
We.... we love you, we love you Lord, we love you
And we... we love you, we love you Lord, we love you
We love you

It's the beauty of simplicity that brings me down to my knees
I'll praise you for eternity, and Lord I love you
Because you, you first loved...

You gave yourself away, just that I could stay
You took my place in death and rose that I could say
That you are holy and you alone deserve my praise

And all God's people say
We... we love you, we love you Lord, we love you
And we... we love you, we love you Lord, we love you
We love you



Because sometimes it's all about sharing love, no matter how angry you are, how hurt you are, how much time has passed, who you hurt, who you thought you hurt but didn't, how ugly, or how painful it is, was or will be. It is the beauty of forgiveness, the beauty of simplicity...
