Heart Treasures
By Huayni

Why were you laughing?

*Don’t we all enjoy children’s recitals and special programs? We smile, cry, laugh and even enjoy everything that didn’t go as planned. It’s common to see people have a blast when children are performing.
*One day, I was sitting in a front row enjoying the children’s special presentation at a church. They were singing a song and had some choreography to go along with it. The children were supposed to do the same thing at the same time, but instead they seemed to be a great wave crashing into the audience in slow motion. When some were still in the middle of the song, others were ending it, and a few were singing it for the second time. After a while they all made it to the end. Alleluia, some of us thought as we clapped our hands and laughed. It was cute and even though we did appreciate their effort, we sure had a strange way of demonstrating it.
*At the end of the presentation the children walked back to their seats, but one little girl walked strait towards me. She asked, “why were you laughing? We were singing for the Lord”. It sure wiped the smile off my face. I had to fight back the tears when I saw the puzzled look on that little angel’s face. I apologized.
*I was reminded of God’s goodness. He doesn’t measure us against any other ruler than His perfect love. He asks us for our best and when we give Him our best, He receives it as a sweet offering of love.
*When your heart is pleasing to God and you do things with the right motivation, rest assure that you will never come short before Him. What God thinks about you is all that matters and He thinks you are the best! You are His most valuable possession.

Bible Truth
