THE POWER AND BENEFITS OF SMILING.
When you encounter someone who greets you with a warm smile, it’s almost instinctual to return the gesture. This simple expression of joy is not only a social cue but also a reflection of the joy and light of God within us. As Christians, our smiles are a testament to the hope and assurance we have in Christ. THE POWER AND BENEFITS OF SMILING
Proverbs 17:22 tells us, “A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” This underscores the importance of maintaining joy and expressing it through our smiles.
WHY SMILE MORE?
– God’s Love and Esteem for You
Romans 8:38-39 reminds us of God’s unwavering love: “For I am sure that neither death nor life… nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” This immense love and value should bring a constant smile to our faces, knowing that all things are working for our good (Romans 8:28).
– Code for Perpetual Victory
Joshua 1:8 emphasizes the power of meditating on God’s Word: “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night… For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” This perpetual victory etched in our spirit should reflect through our smiles, reinforcing the myriad psychological and physiological benefits.
