Least Complicated

The Indigo Girls have a song entitled "Least Complicated" that reminded me today that the hardest people to minister to is our family and close friends because often they see the unguarded person of who we are. They see all our faults and failures. So many times we think we can let our guard down and turn off our faith and just be "normal" but really these are the people we should be ministering to more and better than anybody else because God has placed these people in our direct path of life on a daily or weekly basis. Yet I have found that for me this is the hardest ministry concept to learn...it's so simple and easy, but I'm too hard-headed to get it, I think. "The hardest to learn was the least complicated."
