Jesus smiles on us. We have been giving Him a lot of reason lately to do so.

But here’s the wonderful thing. We don’t have to furnish reasons for Him to smile. We only have to leave room for Him to furnish those reasons.

We sometimes try too hard (in the wrong way) to be Christian. The result is always superficial and frustrates true faith.
