Simplicity & Generosity
‘There are two ways to get enough. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.’
GK Chesterton
Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
Luke 12:23
When you examine the life of Jesus, one thing becomes abundantly clear - the man who had nothing, not even a place to sleep (Matt 8:18-20) had everything he needed to live a flourishing abundant life. He came, after all, not just to show us the right way to live, but the best way to live.
And one of the ways modeled to us in Jesus is a life of simplicity.
Put simply, simplicity is the invitation to prioritize a life filled with God rather than a life filled with stuff. How do we spend less, buy less, pursue less, crave less, and do less for the sake of giving more of our lives away in pursuit of the Kingdom of God.
