Jesus, cast a look on me

English413

Jesus, cast a look on me;
Give me sweet simplicity;
Make me poor, and keep me low,
Seeking only Thee to know.

Weaned from all my lordly self,
Weaned from all the miser’s pelf,
Weaned from all the scorner’s ways,
Weaned from all the lust of praise.

All that feeds my busy pride,
Cast it evermore aside;
Bid my will to Thine submit,
Lay me humbly at Thy feet.

Make me like a little child,
Of my strength and wisdom spoiled;
Seeing only in Thy light,
Walking only in Thy might;

Leaning on Thy loving breast,
Where a weary soul may rest;
Feeling well the peace of God
Flowing from Thy precious blood.

In this posture let me live,
And hosannas daily give;
In this temper let me die,
And hosannas ever cry.

L. SIMPLICITY

--------------

In 2 Corinthians 1:12 Paul speaks of the singleness, or simplicity, of God. Have you ever realized that God is simple? Simplicity is one of His attributes.

God is wise and almighty, but He is also single and very simple. When we talk to certain brothers, we find that they are extremely complicated. But our God is simple with us. Whenever we talk to Him, we find that He is not full of complications. When He says “white” or “black, ” He means white or black, not gray.

No matter how God may feel about us at a particular time, He is always simple with us. Imagine what would happen to us if God were not simple and if He thought about us in a complicated way. Would you like God to consider your situation and examine you in a complicated way? None of us would be favored by God if He were to deal with us in this way. But because of God’s simplicity, His singleness, we have received unreserved blessing from Him all the time.

The source of confusion and division among Christians is the complications within the believers. If all Christians became simple, there would be no problems. The problems in a local church always come from complications. This was the situation among the Corinthians, to whom Paul wrote concerning his conducting himself in the simplicity of God. The simplicity of God is a divine attribute, an attribute of what God is in His faithfulness. To love and enjoy Christ in simplicity (2 Cor. 11:3) is to experience God in His attribute of simplicity.
