Simple

I just put Rylie to bed and I started talking to her about Jesus. When is it time to talk to your kids about Jesus? I mean really talk to them. Not just mention Jesus. Well tonight I really started talking to her about Jesus. What do you say? How do you make it where she can understand? What is too much?

Simple. Make it simple.

We make relationship with God too difficult. We overthink it, overdo it, overkill it.

Here's what Rylie understands about Jesus after tonight...that one of his favorite things is watching her swim at the pool, Jesus really loves that...he loves watching her as she sleeps, because Jesus is right by her bed at night, because he loves her that much to never fall asleep...he loves when she wakes up because he gets to watch what outfit she will pick out...he loves her clothes...he doesn't like bad dreams...he can help us have good dreams...he loves her even more than I do.

Theological??? Immensely...I don't even have time to explain all of the theological doctrines mentioned in that talk (nor do I want to). But she got it...her little mind was running all over. "How can Jesus be in heaven and by my bed?" "Cause he's God...he's everywhere".

If you might have gotten off track in your relationship with God maybe it's because it's gotten too complicated, too theological...kill the "ology". Ology means study of.

Is your relationship with God just your study of God or is it your walk with him? Sometimes in church we get so caught up with studying God that we forget we are walking with him.

Think about marriage for a sec...which would you rather have...someone who studies you or someone who loves you, walks with you? Easy. Simple.

Yep. It is. When it's working at it's best.

Just simple enough for a child.
