A
joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.
Proverbs
17:22
For
some unknown reason, happy people are out of style. I first observed this several years ago when
I worked at a small business populated by sad people. I do not know why they were sad. They had good paying jobs in nice offices, nice
families, boats, houses and leisure time to enjoy all their stuff. Yet, everyday they arrived at work looking
like their world had collapsed.
I
tend to lean the other way. I am
generally happy and when things are really awful, I get funny. I say things which make people laugh. So, even if things are crappy, all this joy
tumbles out. I do not know why. All I can think is that my faith in God,
keeps the blues away. He has said, “… I
will not leave you or forsake you.”
(Hebrews 13:5)
How
can we be anything but confident and happy, knowing that?
