Is Your Life Too Complicated

Do you feel like your life is too complicated? Sometimes I do. Sometimes I feel like I need to split myself into a hundred different me's so I can do and be all that I want to. I'm sure that some of you must feel the same way I do at times. Satan tries desperately hard to complicate all of our lives so he can steal our joy in life. I don't believe that is what God wants from our life. He wants us to love and enjoy everyday.

John 10:9-10 says, I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved (will live) and shall go in and out (freely), and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill and to destroy. I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

I started thinking about all of these things and who it is that complicates my life. It certainly isn't God. I came to a revelation........ It's Me! I complicate things especially in the perfectionism department. Everything always has to be perfect. If I give a party at my house, I can't just stop at just a few kinds of food and maybe one desert, noooooo , I have to get everything I can think of just in case there might be someone who doesn't like what I have. You see I am a people pleaser (another complicater). And my house has to be perfect (that is never going to happen), I want everything in place and the walls perfectly painted no scratches. I drive myself crazy. I want my towels all folded exactly alike, with the fold to the outside. I get to the point to where I want everything so perfect that I can't enjoy people coming over. Life like this can be a prison. I am slowly getting better, but I am also learning to just let some things go. In the big picture of life does it really matter to God whether my spoons and forks are exactly in line with each other? I don't think so. I think what he really wants is for us to simply enjoy everyday with Him. If we trust Him, joy should be radically abundant and overflowing in our lives. Join me as we slow down, uncomplicate, and enjoy our lives together with Jesus!
