1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 Make it your aim to live a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to earn your own living, just as we told you before. In this way you will win the respect of those who are not believers, and you will not have to depend on anyone for what you need.

“Why should I seek something Jesus didn’t seek” hit me hard. It makes me want to be still and ask myself why I’m truly doing the things I am doing.

Very recently I realized that I would fantasize about worldly things. I’m in high school right now(homeschooled), and I live in a tiny tiny village in Costa Rica, I am truly blessed, the best clean air, the best clean food, the best clean water, surrounded by a jungle… but instead of taking a look around and appreciating the blessing, I would fantasize about a fancy and high end life. And literally two days ago, I realized that I don’t want any fast cars, I don’t want fancy clothes, a villa, getting my nails done every week, no, I don’t want any of that, I love my chickens, I love my crazy country family, I love our fruit trees and the dirt that feeds us, I love my boots covered in cow poopoo…. Thank You Jesus, Our Lord, Amen.

Instead of going out all summer and having fun with friends. I am in a season of just focusing on God and doing Bible studies. I do the 50 for Christ. Which is 10 Bible pages a day. 15 min of prayer 15 min of worship. 30min of a sermon. 1 hr social media fast

The Lord has REALLY been convicting me about this and showing me what it means to have joy. For years I chased success, praise, materialism and all the things I thought I needed to be happy. Today, I went for a run and had the best time alone with God with the sun on my face. My wants have shifted so much. Praying he continues to show me what needs to die. Loved this message.

As a young women another layer of pride GOD convicted me to peel off was
1) deleting my face from social media, deleting my ig acct etc..
2) throwing out all makeup & fake things that make me “more beautiful” or “more presentable”

I focus on looking clean, Holy, modest, while trying to be a faithful servant in this distracting + fallen world

[tabithasartain]

God has shown me that the simple life is allowing him to let me just be. No striving, just simply running the race to the finish line. Nothing more, definitely nothing less

Once I realized this world and almost everyone in it are heading straight to hell I walked away from everything.
I dropped social media, tv, books, movies, everything. I stopped keeping up with what was going on in the world and I spend as much time in the word of God as possible.
This world has nothing to offer but emptiness. Set your eyes on heaven.

To speak less and listen more. To not need to convince others that I am right. To practice gratitude & lay down my will for God's will. All things I have been praying for years and now I am feeling the workings of the Lord. Thank you for your message.

I often do 9, 10 hour work days...when im only scheduled to do 7. I am starting to realise its my pride making me do it, wanting validation from people, a pat on the back and a "well done". The only "well done" I want is from God.
Thank you for the video. Real talk. 🙏🏽

John the Baptist was so on fire for Jesus and I believe it is because he lived a simple life. He ate simple natural food, he wore simple clothing, and preached a simple yet powerful message. And he was called Beloved!

[mariusteo]

I think God wants me to be content with the things I have and with the life I live. Not look for the extraordinary, or a better job, a nicer car or a nicer apartment, but be grateful for everything He has provided for me. That includes my faith, my family, the peace and grace He has given me, the gift of seeing the beauty of His creation, the relationships I have because of Him. And to keep focusing on giving more, not acquiring more or being more.

This brother has serious peace upon him..Looks like he's been on vacation for three months straight.. Simple and quiet life I've adopted now...Amen

[ashtonlinney]

I can live the simple and quiet life, by not chasing worldly things, or recognition, or being “busy”. Rather, I can focus on the small things in life, like the day to day things. I also believe that I can live the simple and quiet life by making Jesus and His word my top priority.

It's so crazy that I am seeing this because last night I deactivated my Instagram account. I feel more calm when I am off all social platforms. It's like my brain is at ease. I feel like Jesus Christ wants me to draw closer to him and I just keep tip toing back and fourth. I thank you for this message as it has reminded me that half of the reason I be so stressed out is due to my Pride as well as societies expectations. It's a lot however I'm determined to overcome this and draw closer to the Lord as much as I can.

Sounds like God was working out a pride issue with you. My constant prayer is for God to keep me humble and for me to reach those He needs me to reach by whatever means He chooses. Obedience is absolutely the focus. On a surface level, that’s the same for everyone….pursue Christ. On a deeper level, He uses us differently. We have different gifts, abilities, strengths and weaknesses. He uses them accordingly. The answer is always obedience. ❤

[evelynenachwa]

To the simple and quiet life add helping others, giving to those in need, praying and interceding for others just as Christ tells us to love our neighbours as much as we love our selves..

“Why should i seek something that Jesus didn’t seek.”
Jesus was perfect in every way. Yet we’re still so arrogant to think that we know better than he did. Jesus knew exactly what he was doing, we should try to follow his example.

Even if the world hates you for it, do it anyways. Jesus reminds us, “If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first.”😤

[tytybby]

“Jesus didn’t want popularity because he was so humble he had no pride” Just the thought of having no pride mad me feel a sense of freedom inside!

To stop chasing to be a springbok rugby player for the glory, but I should chase GOD instead.❤amen
