Don't you love being around happy people. It makes a day go a lot better. Spending time with happy people has a tendency to make me happy. I know some folks who have a wonderfully, happy countenance, and I always try to spend time with them - it rubs off.
Now, it's not always easy to have a happy face. This world is full of worries and trials and tests. There will be days that nothing goes right and that there just seems to be no reason to smile. But, there is a way to help keep a happy face...
Today's word is Proverbs 15:13, NIV, which reads, "A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit."
Those days when we aren't as happy are because of the pain we feel in our heart. Heartache does crush the spirit; it takes away our happy face. It is easy to tell when someone is going through something, it shows on their face. It is hard to hide the crush of heartache.
The flip side of that is a happy heart makes a happy face. Just as it is hard to hide a crushed spirit, it is hard to hide a happy face. We have to concentrate more on what makes our hearts happy. If we'll do that, we will put on our happy face.
Be Blessed,
