turn the corner

The command is simple:

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these.
-Mark 23:30-31

We are the ones who complicate things.
We are the ones who give ourselves to methods and rules and limitations and condemnations.
We keep paying interest on a debt that has long been settled.
Less we, for once.
More You.

Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.
-Psalm 42:11
