One of the many teachings of the Bible is joy and happiness. Which creates our close relationship with God. When we believe in the Lord Jesus and follow his commandments, happiness and peace come into our lives. This is not an external but happiness and peace come within our soul.
In the Old Testament of the Bible, we see that David had joy and happiness in his heart despite facing many challenges and difficult situations. Because he praised God and praising God brought joy and happiness to his heart. His psalms teach us to trust in the Lord, which becomes our reason for joy. David’s life teaches us how to find happiness by trusting in God even in difficult times.
Another notable example is the story of the apostle Paul. He wrote many letters despite enduring much persecution and imprisonment. Despite his difficult circumstances, he was filled with deep joy and encouraged others to rejoice as well. His letters remind us that happiness and joy are only found in the Lord Jesus, which we can receive as a gift from Him.
Dear Christian brothers and sisters, let us remember that our Smiling and happiness are a gift from God. We can experience true joy by being close to Him and following His path. May we share this joy with others and may our joy be a witness to God’s love in our lives.
Dear friends, now let’s see the Bible scriptures below that talk about ‘smiling and being happy’.
