A Smile Is One of God's Loving Gifts

A smile is one of God’s loving gifts. Seeing the smiles of my church brothers and sisters is such a blessing. Seeing smiles of people at church that I have a relationship with that I know love me is a real gift. If we would all just think about our smile and why we need to give that to so many people. Some people feel they can’t overcome who they were born to be. Hindu religion believes that you were born into this world who you are because God put you in that place and is waiting to see if he will move you up or move you down in society in the next life. This religion believes that it is a sin to interfere, especially to try to improve someone’s life. They must accept it and live out their life that way. Being born as a dyslexic would’ve meant that I would’ve had no choice, but to do poorly in school and in life because I had to struggle to read. In Christianity, we're about helping people overcome their weaknesses. This is why Christianity is such a powerful thing! We help the weak become strong to become who God intended them to be. New creations. God has no problems, throwing the old way and creating new. That’s what he wants us to do in our life, too! Throw the old stuff away and become new in him. We should see our life is something that is about continuing to improve, who we are, and we do this through Christ because we are his. Everyone works for God! We have little control in our lives. God is in control. We must submit to Him. We must do our best to be a doer of God's word. God, help me to submit to your will the same as Jesus did. Submission should be something we desire to do just as Jesus desired to do it.
