The Beauty of Simplicity

The past few days Iv'e been bumming. I haven't been able to put my finger on it...till today. A friend asked me last night if I'd been reading my Bible and praying, and the answer was yes; but i still felt lacking. So today i went for a run/walk, mostly just to spend time with God. And then it hit me AGAIN. It's so easy to just read/pray and miss the whole point. God is so eager just to spend time with each of us, and we can miss that if we just read/pray and go on with our day. And I realized that i need to get this habit down now, because when school starts, it's going to be much more difficult to continue this simple love for God. It's easy to forget that God isn't impressed with how often we pray, read the bible, heal the sick and the lame, or even tell others about Jesus; but that He is impressed with a heart that is so turned to His. I love the idea of overflow; a heart that turns to God HAS to go do those things, but the difference is made in the overflow....the overflow of God's heart in ours
