God is smiling on someone this morning. If you’ve been having a tough time, struggling with various issues and difficulties, and you feel like you just need a break, remember that sometimes things can feel overwhelming. Take a moment to be still and notice the wonders around you. The struggles we face can often blind us to the goodness of God in our lives.

Consider this: you have your health, your family, your children, and you are alive today. Can’t you see His goodness and beauty surrounding you? He has smiled upon you, and He has been good to you. Even if you feel like you have nothing to rejoice about—perhaps you have no family to call your own, or you’re struggling with your health or finances—know that the Lord is with you. He is working on you, and His smile is an assurance of His love. He is restoring you to health and bringing everything you’ve lost back to you; He is reuniting you with your children and your loved ones. His smile works wonders, and He is present with you. He is smiling on you.

Today, let’s leave our worries behind and rejoice in His goodness. He has been good to you, my friend. Don’t let your trials and worries tell you otherwise. Oh, precious one! I don’t know who is reading this right now, but know in your heart that He has not left you. You are not alone in your struggles; He knows what you are going through, sees your pain, and hears your cries. This morning, He is smiling on you. Yes, He is. Look closer and see—God has smiled upon you.
