There is a tension between the simple and the complex.  It’s simple, and true to say, “God is love”, but how that works out in touching everything in the universe cannot be put into words.  Trusting Christ is simple but how that trust and surrender works out in our daily lives is anything but simple and easy.  We live in a complex universe with a complex God; this exalted One has come near us in the simple Jesus of Nazareth.  The complexity of life can overwhelm us at times, but the way through the maze is a simple child-like trust in a loving Heavenly Father.

“Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 18 3).
