Simple Thoughts

I’ve been reading a book called Three Simple Rules and I was struck by how hard I try to make things.

If I don’t know what God desires, then how do I know what to hang on to?
If I don’t know what God desires, then how do I know what to let go of?
If Jesus is the “Good News” then why do I often feel depressed or cynical?

New thoughts and actions must spring from a desire to change. If this is a longing for spiritual connection then I need remember what I do when I long for connection with my husband or family. . . I need to spend time with him/them.

Am I talking to Jesus more than yesterday?
Am I helping others in need?
Am I doing harm to others by my actions or inaction?

I decided long ago to challenge myself to review my day each evening as I lay my head on my pillow. Then I pray that God will help me be better tomorrow than I was today. I know that I will experience peace in my heart, a contented soul, and a simple sustaining faith in the midst of any storm.
