The clumsy never get used to falling. It hurts just as bad the 50th time as
it did the 5th. The humility of loving someone who is mysterious and vague
is always perplexing. The kiss from the one who loves you is always
wonderful, even after so many years. The little things in this painful life
are always the most beautiful. Friendship, laughter, delight, a good steak,
a glass of red wine, a call from someone who just wanted say hello. The best
things are simple. God made us to live simple lives, but no, we have to
complicate them with sin, deceit, envy, jealousy, dreams that have nothing
to do with Him at all. But even so, He does not give up on us. He is there
when we fall 51 times. He is there though He is mysterious and vague. To
adore Him is to kiss His lips. We must not stop trying to follow Him up the
hill to Golgotha. No matter what, it is very simple, we all have to die on a
cross. And when we learn how to do this, we will experience His simple
liberty that is becoming His love. In this we learn to love oursleves,
others, and His simple Heart.
