Every now and then, an old already known truth hits me in a brand new way. And then it convicts me...in a mighty way. Then I beat "myself up" for not doing things differently...and then I stop the abuse. Because God doesn't need all the years I wasted. He just wants me to take that conviction and run with it now.
"The Farmer says it about his sons and his daughters, about us:“Whether you have much or little, the truth will just tell you plain: the only wealth you’ll ever have is God.”
Do any of us need more than that?
“The things is… When we think about what we want to leave for our children — Less is more.”

I nod slow.
Less goods can let there be more God.
Whenever you think you need more of this world, you lay out a welcome mat for the enemy.
When it comes to our legacy, to our lives, to our longings — less is always more.

We get out of bed and do what comes first.
We bow our heads.
And the emptiness of hands surrendered can fill with God."

Less stuff, less busyness, less me.
More Him.
In Him....I'm complete, my children are complete, my grandchildren are complete.
That's the legacy I desire.
