Nowadays, when our lives are overwhelmed with many factors, we tend to become self-centered, and always think about the “me.” What’s in it for me… Whenever we think in that sense, we always move away from God, and what He has planned for us. It is important to always remember that whatever we do in life, we should do it for the glory and praise of God. And trust in this, whatever we do for God, we put a “smile” on His face.
Yes, we are not perfect, we tend to fall down every couple of steps that we take. But, that should not deter us from the true fact that God loves us, even with our downfalls. We should try to always find ways to grow in relationship with Him. And, growing in relationship always has its ups and downs, we sometimes take one step forward and two steps back, but we always grow in our love towards God. Therefore, just keep growing in relationship with God and always strive to put a smile on His face, because when we do, He will smile right back at us.
