Most of the time we have the best of intentions in living our Christian lives to honor and please God. We truly mean well, yet we may have permitted things into our lives that burden us with obligations and expectations that are not from God. Perhaps we need to take the time to step away from our good intentions and seek God's pure and simple ways. If we have a willingness to let go of stuff that's not of Him and just step into the simplicity of who God really is, we will find a peaceful simplicity in our lives. We aren't making God smaller to suit our needs, it's making us simpler to suit His plan.
