simple truth

Albert Einstein said ""When the solution is simple, God is answering." One of the smartest men in the history of the world is telling us that God doesn't always have to be so complex. It doesn't always have to be a big puzzle. 

I feel a strong connection with God but I know at times my connection is weakened by my failure to respond to His call. Sometimes my relationship with God is in turmoil simply because of my own doings or lack thereof. 

Jesus called us His sheep, He said that we know His call and He is our Shepard. "He goes on ahead of them, and His sheep follow Him because they know His voice" (John 10:4). This is true, we are Christians because we know His call but do we always listen? How often is God speaking to us, but we are not listening? 

Just like William's story of the man who waited for God to save him in the village that was flooding. Even with all the help that God sent, the man simply, missed it. Why? What was he expecting God to be. What was he expecting God to look like? Is God around us more often than we realize but we miss him because we are looking for something else?

We must work harder everyday to refine our understanding of the Holy Spirit and the essence of Christ. The better you know God, the easier it is to see Him. Christ is all around us. 

Peace to all.
