36"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'[b] 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'[c] 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

I sometimes wonder why I always complicate things. My world and my emotions seem to be in a vicious cycle of confusion to clarity back to confusion. I would like to say that as I write this first blog that I have figured everything out and that my life makes sense however this is not the case. I am in a perpetual tension of faith and doubt, life and death, flesh and spirit, joy and sorrow, laughter and crying and a whole lot of other opposites.
This is the reality of my life, not sure if you can relate...
I tend to hang my future, my thoughts, my emotions and choices on things that cannot handle the weight of them and ultimately let me down everytime.
We all would like a more simple life, one filled with peace...I mean real peace not just the notion of it.
Jesus silenced the self righteous.
Then he silenced my fears.
Joshua....just do two simple things, love me and love people. All the rest of that other stuff hangs on this.
Easy.
Revolutionary.
Life altering.
Now take a deep breath and live it.
No ifs ands or buts.
It is that simple.
As I was about to speak in Singapore this weekend I felt a voice in my heart say clear as day...
"Trust me Joshua"
It was the most simple and clear thing I have heard in a long time.
This is God.
Simple, clear, love, truth, joy, peace...
So let us not hang our thoughts, lives, decisions on anything else.
Ask yourself does this choice love God and love people?
Does this thought love God and love others as I love myself?
IT ALL HANGS ON THIS....LOVE
