Have you ever tried to get someone's attention with a kind smile?  Recently while traveling, I noticed that some people do not want to make eye contact.  Some avert their attention so they don't have to acknowledge you, while others kindly respond when presented the opportunity.  Some have an angry and closed disposition, while others are open, warm and friendly.  As a hobby, I sometimes observe people from a distance trying to guess how they will respond to my smile or greeting.  

Do you ever wonder how God would greet you if you saw him?  What he would say?  What expression he would wear?  How he would act?  Although some might disagree, I believe that I know.  I believe that you would bring a smile to his face.  He would run to you and hug you with an embrace that would convince you that he loves you and is proud of you.  You see, the God of Heaven holds more love for you than you have ever known.  He wants you to have the best life possible, and he wants you to know that he is always thinking about you.  

So, next time someone does not return your smile, remember that is not how the God of Creation responds to you.  You put a smile on his face.  © 2007 Champion Ministries dba Groundwire
