Be Happy
This afternoon, my wife and I were visiting in a home in Belgium and, on the refrigerator in the kitchen, I noticed a large magnet with the following saying on it.
Be So Happy
That When Others
Look At You They
Become Happy Too!
It brought to mind the observation of the Queen of Sheba when she saw the servants of Solomon. “And she said to the king … Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom” (1 Kings 10:6, 8). There was something about the countenance of these servants that showed to all in the king’s court that they were happy in the service of their master.
This is the way it should be with everyone who is a child of God. Those around us ought to see the joy of the Lord and the happiness of Christianity radiate from our faces. Like Peter and John of whom it says, “they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus” (Acts 4:13).
