I have a pillow on my bed that says: "Simplify"....<br /><br />One thought I have is that we need to be ready to face the fact that we are not what we do. God has given us worth and value that is not based on performance. He declared it on the cross of Christ. Once we have that truth packed into our hearts and minds, we can focus on those things He has for us, whether they be great in number or few...and that is up to Him.<br /><br />You mentioned the relational part of listening to the LORD and being in His Word. That is a key for sure. We cannot know what He is asking of us if we don't connect with Him. <br /><br />We find, like Martha, it certainly is not an easy task to fight the "shoulds" and "oughts"....but like Mary...really there is one thing that is most important and if we find that, we will find that Jesus is smiling on us and we can be secure that it will not be taken from us...<br /><br />Luke 10:41 And the Lord answered, and said to her, Martha, Martha, thou art busy, and art troubled about full many things; 42 but one thing is necessary. Mary hath chosen the best part [Mary hath chosen the better part], which shall not be taken away from her. (wycliff)<br /><br />God bless you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3867053324555615941.post-20459755003390829712010-11-29T04:25:33.367-08:002010-11-29T04:25:33.367-08:00Amen to this, Patricia!

And I'm even feeling less guilty when I say it. <em>God, indeed, is a miracle worker!</em> *grin*<br />~KarenKaren Hossinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049412644792482270noreply@blogger.com
