Simply

By Derick Aiken

"Simply" is meant to be that word that repeats in the back of your mind, a daily word that you are human, you are worth something, you are valuable, you are somebody and you are a child of God. It's meant to find that dark corner you can't come out of and provide some type of format and design for purpose, for will, for the light, and for strength. We must live the lives we have been given to the fullest.  Knowing that in our darkest moments, we will rise above, make it through and utilize that experience to save somebody else who cannot seem to find the light. Someone once told me "Problems don't just go away; they are meant to be lived through."  In that, you find a brighter you, bigger you, smarter you and the you that has built the type of joy to be relished, revered, and cannot be broken by anything nor anyone.

Purpose

THE BOOK SIMPLY STARTED as a daily text to those whom, in my heart, I felt needed a word of encouragement. While some may disagree, I believe, there will always be a being greater than us, that gives us what we need when we need it. I, for one, will never negate the fact that God and the Holy Spirit were the voices that lead me to share those encouraging words to those specific people. This book is meant to save souls. It’s meant to bring those in the darkness into the light. Some of us have been in places in our lives where we feel we can’t come out of it. I truly believe part of the responsibility of life is to go through different tests and trials.  Not only going through them but coming out of them like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego when they came out of the fire; un-torched, un-scorched, untethered. They came out with the profound belief that nothing can harm us because of the love of God. Understanding that we love and should serve a God who loves us recklessly; with no regard for Himself only that He loves us.

Luke 5:36-38 (NJV)

36: No one tears a piece out of a new garment to patch an old one. Otherwise, they will have torn the new garment and the patch from the new will not match the old.  37: And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins; the wine will run out and the wineskin will be ruined. 38: No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins.

There have been times I have set out to do something or at least have the idea to something and something always happens. The enemy is very clever and knows exactly what it takes to knock you off your path, stunt your growth, or hinder that which you want to do, think of doing and aspire to do. Writing this book has been a challenge for me, as the enemy has tried to stop me multiple times. The drive and willingness to get it done and to see it through had to become the motivational factor in completing what I had started. So, to you I say, build the dream, live the goals, and be consistent. In doing these three things, you will persevere. Make it a point to finish what you’ve started.
