So Simple

I was reading my daughter one of her favorite books the other day, Little One, God Made You, and it hit me that God's love really is simple. We seem to make it so complicated with all of our rules and worrying. Here are the words of the book:

"God made you to love you, little one.
There's no one like you, no, not one.
No one has your tiny nose or your wiggly, squiggly toes.
No one has your silly laugh when you splash in bubble baths.
When you're crawling or you're creeping, while you're skipping, while you're sleeping...
God made you to love you, little one."

God made us to love us and wants to be in relationship with us. That's it! It's so simple and yet so complicated at the same time. Why is it so hard to accept God's love and just live in it? We wouldn't have to worry, we wouldn't need to have rules. We really would be free!
