Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Have you ever found yourself in a cycle that feels endless—chasing more, striving harder, and praying for increase, yet never feeling satisfied? My wife and I know that experience well. There was a time when we found ourselves on that very treadmill, praying for better jobs, for higher income, and for more resources—not out of greed, but out of a desire to meet our needs and improve our lives. But with each blessing came the desire for more, and before long, we realized that our prayers, though sincere, were being offered in a cycle of pursuit that never paused to ask, “Have we been good stewards of what we already have?”
The truth was sobering. We were not. We had overlooked the abundance God had already provided and had failed to acknowledge the waste that accompanied our endless striving. It was only when we stopped running and started listening that we understood: the answer wasn’t in receiving more—it was in using better what we had been given.
Beloved, this world will always urge you to accumulate more, to upgrade, to want. But God invites you to rest, to trust, and to simplify. He does not measure your life by what you possess, but by how you honor Him with what you have.
Today, take a moment to step off the hamster wheel and into His presence. Let your prayers be filled with thanksgiving, and let your heart be content in the sufficiency of Christ.
In the grace of simplicity,
Brother Jesse
