Proverbs 17:22 (NKJV) 22 A merry heart does good, like medicine,\u00a0But\u00a0a broken spirit dries the bones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Going through some pretty big things, like a major surgery, loss of a loved one, or maybe even a divorce, etc., can hurt the heart, taint it and cause brokenness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It is heavy stuff, and it happens a lot. People are broken, hurt and going through some challenging things as we speak. It can surely wipe the smile off our faces and rip the joy out of our hearts quickly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Have we been walking around with unhappiness? Has it been our best friend lately? Is our face beginning to take on\u00a0a\u00a0more serious look and we find it very hard to\u00a0smile?<\/p>\n

I remember as a child, my mom saying to me, \u201cYou\u00a0keep making that face and it will get stuck that way.\u201d Boy, did I change it up quickly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How do we keep our joy and be merry when things like this come along? God’s word says there is a time to\u00a0mourn.\u00a0But we must reach a point where we allow ourselves to be comforted. We\u00a0cannot\u00a0stay\u00a0mourning over situations forever.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Matthew 5:4 (NKJV) 4 Blessed are those who mourn,\u00a0For\u00a0they shall be\u00a0comforted<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Our hearts much reach a place where we can laugh again and enjoy the blessings of the Lord, family, friends, nature and life itself, etc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Some\u00a0people\u2019s\u00a0faces have been stuck for too long now and they need to change it up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It won\u2019t be easy at first. And in some\u00a0situations we\u00a0may even feel guilty to laugh, rejoice or be happy again. But know that God wants us to be comforted. He wants us to be able to smile and laugh again. He wants us to be able to\u00a0rejoice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Job 8:21 (NKJV) 21 He will yet fill your mouth with laughing, And your lips with rejoicing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
