The Word for Writers
Make It Simple
I know I’m one of those who have fallen into the trap of writing so many words, cluttering each sentences with many figurative speech, flowery words, vain repetitions, only to end up confusing the readers (including myself) with questions and wrong interpretations. When I want to prove a point, whether it’s talking to my teenage daughter or adult son, or arguing with my husband, or debating a word of a “know-it-all” individual, I tend to repeat myself over and over, and yet, still felt misunderstood and at times criticized. Why? People doesn’t have all the time in the world. I learned that less is really more.
I admire simple faith. Simple living. Simple, uncluttered mind. Simple, clear and to the point words.
Most important of all, let’s not clutter the simple message of the gospel. As the Apostle Paul warned the Corinthian believers: “But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.” (2 Corinthians 11:3)
Simplicity doesn’t mean you are not operating at full capacity. A simple heart of devotion to God with a goal of glorifying Him instead of ourselves- that’s as simple as it can get to please God.

Very Beautifully written,
I too, find myself doing this very thing, using words that complicates and sometimes,confusing the issue. God and His salvation plan are simple,to understand, so simple in fact, that even a small child can understand.
God has "corrected" me on this several times.
And you're so right,sometimes the least does say the most!!
Keep writing .... keep it simple!

I Love the Truth of God that it can reach the heart of a child. And I love the Beautiful words that are found in the Psalms and in the book of Song of Solomon found in The HOLY BIBLE.
God has gifted and has called Christians in The Body of Christ to write about His Love and Mercy and Truth throughout the centuries.We have been given the privelege to share the Truth in Beauty and in The Spirit of Love. God surely sees our hearts when we write!
In Jesus Love, your Sister
