The following is from my days in South Korea where I was a teacher of English  -

One day i found myself waiting for my students to arrive.  Typically,  i would stand by the door and greet them as they arrived every Monday morning.  So, just after writing my last blog, the first student appears, and her T shirt says  "So Simple"....I'm like, Yes! Lord! It really is  -  Your wisdom is simple and easy to understand! (God often communicates with me through my student's clothing). 

So, the next shirt i see with writing on it says "Made in Heaven" - Hallelujah! Yes! The source of all love, our love, is "Our Father which art in Heaven" . Next I see  "See good in all things" - Amen. Love doesn't keep a record of wrongs  - love tries to see the good not the evil. Next came "Hope" , then "Overcome", tgen "Prayer", then "Forward", then "Jump spirit", then "spirited attack run", then "Courage", then "like what you do", then "Trust", then "Be Amazing ", then "Original", then "New Tide". Wow! Let's put them together in order  -  all from the clothing of my students walking by  - 

       So simple

       Made in Heaven

       See good in all things

       Hope

       Overcome 

       Prayer

       Forward

       Jump Spirit

       Spirited Attack Run

        Courage

       Like what you do

       Trust

       Be Amazing 

       Original 

       New Tide

So God's word to me (us), goes something like this  - first of all, i believe the wisdom of God, the revelation of God   - is so simple even a child can understand it. Religion (Theology) tends to complicate the simple truth in God's word. If it takes an entire book to explain a scripture,  or doctrine,  chances are man's wisdom has polluted the wisdom of God.  It's not that God won't show us profound, deep truths  - really amazing revelations,  but when HE does, we will find, the deeper we go in Christ  - the more simple His ways and His words become, till in the end, it all leads back to "love one another" and "love the Lord thy God", it really all boils down to love  - God's love - pure, gentle, full of mercy, without partiality or hypocrisy.  It's unfeigned! (Not fake). Indeed, all that is good comes down to us from Heaven   - His love, His wisdom,  His life, US  - are all "Made in Heaven"  in our case  -  we are "remade" but made in Heaven nonetheless.  You've seen "made in China"? Every Christian has "made in Heaven" stamped on their passport  - it's where we're from, it's where we're returning to. 

"See good in all things" or try to. Love believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love doesn't keep a record of wrongs. Love thinks the best of everyone  - even it's enemies. All things work together for the good  - of those who love  - love God and one another. So we should try to see, in every situation  - no matter how bad  - how will this result in good for me? Three things abide in our hearts daily, three faithful companions. Faith, Hope and Love  - all important but the greatest is love. 

Part two soon
