Simple and honest

Here’s what I want you to do: 
find a quiet, secluded place 
so you won’t be tempted to role-play before God. 
Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. 
The focus will shift from you to God, 
and you will begin to sense his grace. 
Continuing on in The Sermon on the Mount for this Lenten season
