Yesterday, something truly beautiful happened.

A young boy came up to me in church and said, “This is the first time I’ve seen my sister smile in church.”
What a blessing.

This is what God desires—not performance, but presence.

He wants us to take off our religious masks and come into His house as our authentic selves. He’s not surprised by our struggles or imperfections. In fact, He welcomes them—because He wants to help us through them.

Next time you feel tempted to put on a religious face, remember—
You are a child of God, not a performer trying to earn His approval.

"Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."
— Matthew 18:3

He loves you deeply. He delights in your honesty.
