"I Have Grown More Simple"

As the world has grown more complicated,
I have grown more simple.

As the world trips and stumbles over its plans, policies and procedures,
I simply follow Jesus on the path of love.

As the world argues and complains,
I grow more silent.

As the world busies itself building monuments to itself,
I simply stand in awe of the beauty and majesty of sunrises and sunsets.

As the world clamors for money and power,
I pray for peace of mind, soul and spirit.

As the world rejects and denounces God,
I hide safely under the shadows of his wings
And walk with him in the cool of the day.

As the world grows bitter and lonely,
I enjoy his sweet Presence.

As the world wars with itself,
I walk in the peace that passes all understanding.

As the world grows dim,
I live enlightened by God.

As the world talks and says nothing,
I listen to God and receive wisdom.

As the world has grown more complicated,
I have grown more simple.
