Simple or Complicated?

Jesus said "If your eye is single your whole body will be full of light" and then added "If the light in you is darkness how great is that darkness". 

When our eye is "single" - God's way are "simple" -- "un-complicated". 

We see Him as good, and His word as a treasure of wisdom given to us through His kindness. 

When our eye is "single" we see His yoke as easy and His burden as light and we experience His rest for our soul. 

When our eye is "single" we delight to do His will. 

When our eye is single - OUR HEART IS PURE and we SEE GOD. If the light in us is darkness, God appears very complicated. 

If we see Him in a "bad light", we perceive His ways as difficult. 

When the light in us is darkness, God's ways seem hard, confusing, and "complicated." 

How do we see Him? The mind of the Spirit who "EN-LIGHTENS" us is life and peace. The mind of the flesh is not single but complicatedly "hostile", it can't submit because it is IMPURE. 

Sin has "complicated" the carnal mind's perception of God. 

The pure in heart see God as pure - in fact to the pure ALL THINGS are pure - because their eye is "single" - life is not complicated - it's just a joy filled relationship with a perfect heavenly Father. They know that the trouble in the world is not His fault, He is the answer - not the problem.
