"To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see."

(Hebrews 11.1 GNB)

Simple life does not mean poor or boring. The definition of simple or complicated is subjective to you and me.

To me, life becomes more complicated when I do not trust faith and hope. "Faith and hope are not enough, so I need to ..." (fill in the blank). The less I trust faith and hope, the more I think I need to do more or have more.

Trusting faith and hope is the essence of surrendering to Jesus and following him. The more I trust faith and hope, the more my life becomes simpler.
