Do You Have a Happy Heart?

“A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance.”

Proverbs 15:13


Ponder This

What’s the value in your smile? Someone once wrote:

“A smile costs nothing but creates much good. It enriches those who receive it without impoverishing those who give it away. It happens in a flash, but the memory of it can last forever. No one is so rich that he can get along without it. No one is too poor to feel rich when receiving it. It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and nature’s best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen.”

Practice This

When you get dressed this morning, don’t forget to put on a smile. I’m not saying for you to plaster on a fake smile. Wear a smile all day from the inner joy that only Jesus can bring to your heart. Don’t feel an inner joy? Then ask for one!

Real Truth Never Changes
