The Dr. Seuss Quote for Today is - Sometimes the Questions are Complicated . . .

The Dr. Seuss Quote for today is,   "Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple!" In many aspects of life we do often "complicate" things when they could be significantly more simple, so I'd have to agree with this saying from Dr. Seuss! One things we might "complicate" is our relationship to God. Sometimes we think we have to be good, do good things and think good thoughts if we are going to have a relationship with God, yet God Himself tells us in Romans 3:23, "All of us have sinned and fallen short of God's glory." None of us are good. We are all sinners. On our own, we fall short of God's glory. This is horrible news because on our own we can not do anything to have a relationship with God. We might try to earn it by being "good", but we can never be good enough. Thank God, He chose to make a relationship with Him possible for us! Romans 6:23 tells us, "Sin pays off with death. But God's gift is eternal life given by Jesus Christ our Lord." Just look at Romans 10:9.10; "So you will be saved, if you honestly say, 'Jesus is Lord,' and if you believe with all your heart that God raised him from death." We just have to honesty say, "Jesus is Lord" and believe with all our heart God raised Jesus from the dead! This is it! It isn't complicated! It is amazingly simple! It is a gift from God, one we can not earn! So, if you have never received this gift and have been trying to "complicate" things by earning what can never be earned, just accept the gift God so freely offers because, "the answer is simple!"

Be sure to point this out to your grandchildren, too! I know for me there is nothing more important than for my grandsons to make the choice to know and walk with God all their lives! I want them to accept God's amazing gift! Be sure to explain God's simple plan for your grandchildren to be able to know and walk with Him and then lead them in thanking and praising God for His awesome gift! Give them an opportunity to respond to the gift as well! Be sure to take a moment to pray for each grandchild by name - "Thank You God for Your great gift! Please help _____  know he/she can not earn knowing You, but rather is is a gift they can accept! Please help him/her want to know and walk with You all his/her life! Thank You, Amen!"
