Another spiritual discipline that I recently discovered in a Bible study class was "simplifying." I did not know that simplifying my life had anything to do with becoming closer to our Lord! The leader of the class explained that when we have less "stuff," we use less time looking for things or being distracted by many things - and thus have more time to spend with God.
Today's devotional starts out by telling us that this is a time in life to let go of "loved ones, of possessions, of control." Sarah Young suggests that we can do this be resting in the Presence of God where we are "complete" and can "bask in the light" of the Love of our Savior. This is another nudge for me to simplify my life by letting go!
I now have another goal - that of simplifying my life by getting rid of things that I don't use or particularly need. Will you join me on this road - and then share with me and others how it makes you feel after a few weeks of simplifying our lives?
