The Gift of Gods Smile. We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy. ( Daniel 9:18 ). If only, when God smiles and says we are saved, wed salute him, thank him, and live like those who have just received a gift from the commander and chief. We seldom do that. We prefer to get salvation the old fashion way. We earn it. Now listen my brother and sister. To accept grace is to admit failure, a step we are hesitant to take. We opt to impress God with how good we are rather than confessing how great he is. We dizzy ourselves with doctrine. Burden ourselves with rules. Think that God will smile on our efforts? He doesnt! Gods smile is not for the healthy hiker who boasts that he made the journey alone. It is, instead, for the crippled leper who begs God for a back on which to ride. Amen. Ty Jesus. God bless you always. By Max Lucado
