Reading: Psalm 133
“Rejoice always!” (1 Thess 5:16)
For some the only time they smile probably is when they look at the mirror. Well, that teaches us a lesson. We are prettiest when we smile! In this busy world, people forget to smile. Their mind is too preoccupied to smile. Our physical weakness and stress also draws a sad mask over our face. “If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint,’ I will put off my sad face and wear a smile,” says Job (Job 9:27). Can we forget our complaints? I have a friend who has too many problems to enumerate. But her doctor one day said, “I have not seen anyone so happy who has so many ailments.” She is for me a Queen of Smiles. She is a living miracle smiling all the time like the virtuous woman of Proverbs 31 (v25).
Even though for some it is natural to have a smiley face, we all can practice a smile all the time. In this sad world we can bring joy, hope and cheer to those around us only if we learn to smile. “A cheerful look brings joy to the heart,” says Proverbs 15:30. Just try smiling at people and you will know what magic it works for both of you.
Smile heals wounds and refreshes a soul. It generates love. It starts a relationship. It gives people confidence in you. This sick world is badly in need of people who can smile. It is the cheapest and costliest gift you can give someone. It not only changes your chemistry but also the one who receives it. It can be a point of contact with the one to whom you wish to share the Good News.
People are longing for love and your smile gives them a bit of your love. Of course, I don’t need to tell you that you need discretion too. Let smile become your second nature. Try to lift up the spirits of those who are sinking in sorrow. Smile is often contagious. Your smile can light up many candles in this world. Smile at your co-passengers, coworkers, beggars. But first of all learn to smile at your own family members. And that is where we start! Smile is soundless music. Sing it all the time. It relaxes you and others.
“The most beautiful thing you can give another human being is a genuine smile. Live your life by this motto and you will see wonderful results.” — A grandmother
