is it that simple?

jesus was once asked what the greatest commandment was. he responded(summary) ---love God, love people. he could have said anything. he could have said go to church, vote republican, don't do this, don't do that. but he didn't. it wasn't a laundry list of things to do. it was simple. simply hard. Love God, love people.

there weren't four spiritual laws, there wasn't the romans road, the colour book didn't exist. no religion, no fancy club to join. just love God love people. why do we always make it complicated? i think that people are drawn to love and the love shown to people.

now don't get me wrong. these four words are incredibly simple. yet...ridiculously hard to live by. i really have simplified my faith over the past year and tried just to live by these four words. although there is no religion to worry about. following these four words is far harder than trying to be religious.

so how are you doing with those four wonderful words?
