20 “Surely God does not reject one who is blameless
or strengthen the hands of evildoers.
21 He will yet fill your mouth with laughter
and your lips with shouts of joy. Job 8:20-21
I saw a video of two little boys this week passing a bottle of drink back and forth and laughing and carrying on. The laughter was so innocent and enjoyable to listen to, I couldn't get enough of seeing the looks on their faces and hearing their laughter. To be honest, my work was limited for the next several minutes because I could not stop watching it. It left me with a warmth and happiness to see two individuals with such laughter in their hearts and made me realize, when was the last time I laughed that hard. God wants us to be happy, and although we may go through trials, in the end he wants us to be happy. Happiness can come in many forms, but I know that when I have a good laugh with someone I know, the joy of God can be felt close to me. We need to take a moment every day to give ourselves a reminder of how joyful life is, and what God has done for us. The enemy wants us to be angry and hateful, but I choose to be happy and joyful. Find joy in your life and laughter in your heart.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
