Simplicity.
The quality or condition of being plain or natural.
Uncomplicated.
I really struggle with upholding this virtue. I could really use some simplicity in my life.
Everything must be lavish and over the top; the best of the best. When I feel I can not meet expectations of exceeding the bottom line, I just do not do it.
In Matthew 6:22, Jesus says, "the eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light."
In my spiritual walk, if I can not say a perfectly eloquent prayer, I simply do not pray at all. If I do not have the time to fully complete my prayer journal, I just do not do it at all. My eyes are not clear of what the true purpose of these daily disciplines are, thus causing a dark spot over my relationship with Christ.
To just meet God at the bare minimum, the natural or plain setting of functioning, it is so hard; probably because I love to overcomplicate my life.
Baseline simplicity.
That is what I am in need of.
