I've read the "David-And-Goliath" story many times.
It made me cry today. A strange emotion, considering I was flipping through the old testament looking for "inspirational quotes" to paste on my Cave-Wall.
And I found this story, where a child faces a giant with a sling, having stripped himself of all the armor and protection his earthly king offered. The act: Simple. Like a kiss on a child's forehead. Like a coin in a beggar's cup.
Like Christ's call to--"Follow."
Simple. One stone.
Simple, One Cross.
Simple: One life, laid at the feet of Redemption without any clue to what it will mean. Only trusting that once we stop dreaming, worrying, hoping, climbing for ourselves, we will be free to be Dreamed for, to be Hoped for, to be Loved through and to fulfill His Vision.
Simple. Costly.
He is the Pearl of great Price. Beauty in a grain of sand.

The last 20 years of my life have not been simple. Today was not simple, and nor will tomorrow be.
Nope. I hear you.
But His message, His calling, is Simple. And ridiculously difficult.
