The easy path

If you would be simple hearted like the Apostles, would not conceal your human shortcomings, would not pretend to be especially pious, if you would walk free from hypocrisy, then that is the path. While it is easy, not everyone can find it or understand it.  This path is the shortest way to salvation and attracts the grace of God.  Unpretentiousness, guilelessness, frankness of soul - this is what is pleasing to the Lord, who is lowly of heart.  Except ye become like children, ye shall not enter the Kingdom of God, (Mt. 18:13).
