"A happy heart is like a continual feast" -- Proverbs 15:15 / NCV
Few things in life are more sad than someone who is consistently grumpy. Christ promises us lives of abundance and joy, but He does not force His joy upon us. We must claim His joy for ourselves, and when we do, Jesus, in turn, fills our spirit with His power and His love.
How can we receive from Christ the joy that is rightfully ours? By giving Him what is rightfully His: our hearts and our souls. When we earnestly commit ourselves to the Savior of mankind, when we place Jesus at the center of our lives and trust Him as our personal Savior, He will transform us, not just for today, but for all eternity. Then we, as God's children, can share Christ's joy and His message with a world that needs both.

"If His presence does not cheer you, surely Heaven itself would not make you glad; for what is Heaven but the full enjoyment of His love"

Lord, You have given us so many reasons to be happy and we want to be a cheerful Christian. Today and every day, we will do our best to share our happiness with our family and our friends
