Not Because I've Been (Trying to be) Good

I will never take it for granted that life appears to be going smoothly right now because I'm trying to be good. I have realized that the smile that is constantly on my face is not because I am rich or because I have  a great family or because I have good health or even because I am a nice person. The smile on my face is because I know Jesus loves me so much and I don't even deserve His love. But He still loves me and looks beyond all my faults and He sees my needs. Jesus goes even further by extending His mercy and His grace to me every single day. 

So when you see  me smile it is the peace and assurance of belonging to a loving Father who has my best interest at heart and desires for me to prosper and be in good health. A loving father who saw it fit to allow me to enjoy the beauty of His salvation, the free gift of eternal life in the land of the living. This is God, my Abba, who I am sharing with you. Not because you are good or because you are a nice person but because He loves you with an everlasting love. Won't you freely accept His love today.
