A happy heart makes the face cheerful; using scripture to live a happier life. 

Happy Monday (haha!)

Have you ever met someone who was always happy? Don’t you wonder why nothing bothers them? And in the contrary have you met someone who is always bitter or as I like to call them “resting witch face”

.
Recently I came across Proverbs 15:13 ~A Happy heart makes the face cheerful but heartache crushes the spirit ~ I know it’s hard to have a happy heart during times of heartache, but I wondered if we at times choose to be bitter over small things. (Like when my daughter doesn’t want to eat her food)

I’m a big culprit of this, so many times I’ve subjected my poor husband with a “not-cheerful” face all because I was in a bad mood over something that I can’t even remember. He’s not deserving of this, especially after a long day of work, he rather see a cheerful face when he gets home.

So wether your heartache is over something big or something small, the Bible tells us to work on changing our hearts to a happy heart. You can’t rely on someone or something to do this for you. The power is within you. Choose to be happy regardless of your circumstances and you will soon be just like that person who always seems happy and everyone wants to be around.

What dumb stuff have you gotten really upset about in the past? Can you look back now and see how irrational it was? No worries we’ve all been there!
