Welcome back readers! I hope your week is going well. Today, we are going to focus on being cheerful. Have you ever been around someone who always seems to be grumpy? Are you that way? I know I have had my moments, but it is during those times that we have a choice: to be grumpy or be cheerful. When we are truly seeking God, he fills us with His joy, His love and His power. We are much happier and cheerful when our heart and soul belongs to Christ. Let’s see what the Bible tells us about being cheerful:
Proverbs 15:15
“A cheerful heart has a continual feast.”
2 Corinthians 9:7
“Each person should do as he has decided in his heart–not out of regret or out of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
Philippians 2:14-15
“Do everything without grumbling and arguing, so that you may be blameless and pure.”
James 5:13
“Is anyone among you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises.”
You have the choice….be grumpy or cheerful….which will you decide today?
Be a blessing to others,
~M
