A Christian should be a lamp, and not a damp. He should cheer and enlighten his brethren, and never act as a wet blanket to their zeal. -Spurgeon
Proverbs 17:22, A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
There is a lot of heartache in the world today. Sickness, unemployment, death, pain, unjust suffering, it gets to be overwhelming sometimes! Many days, we can echo David in Psalm 69:3, “I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.”
This is why I attempt to make people smile throughout my day. To make someone smile gives me a joy in my own heart. Passing joy on to others should be one of our goals each day. When we do that, we are showing others the love of God that is in us.
Will you go out today with the goal in mind of seeing someone smile because of something you said? The greatest smile is when we see someone come to know the Lord! In their rejoicing they share the love of God with the ones whom God has given them to reach!
