"Beauty of Simplicity"

Today a song came on the radio I haven't heard in a very long time. It was one of those songs that always seemed to make me think and calm my thoughts simultaneously. It was the song I would sing in the on deck circle before every at bat during my High School Baseball career. "Its the Beauty of Simplicity, that brings me down to my knees", are the words that would repeat over and over in the back of my mind. These words are so deep and powerful describing God's gift of his son death in order that we may have life, this simple yet so unfathomable love astonishes me everyday. This is the reason I have come to love my Father because He first loved me and for that, worthy of my praise. Gods "Beauty of Simplicity", is found so often when looking around at his marvelous creation to the everyday works God is doing in our lives. All it takes is to take a step back, take a breath, and look around at the blessings He has provided us with and the growth taking place within ourselves. It all brings us back to the idea that God loves us so much; He longs for our recognition of that fact! There is so much beauty found in our Loving Creator when just taking a look. Take a look for yourself of what God has done and placed in your lives and be thankful for his unending grace He freely gives. Rest in the "Beauty of Simplicity" our Father provides us with.

"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."
Hebrews 4:16
