START WITH A SMILE

Proverb 15:30 CEV A friendly smile makes you happy, and good news makes you feel strong.

I read some good advice the other day. “Kick start your day with a smile!” Now isn’t that a better way to start the day, or the week, than with a gloomy face? Just the act of smiling lifts our spirits up a notch and, if necessary, just do it by faith.😊

Even when things look rough and situations are tough, reach inside to where the Holy Spirit’s fruit of joy is being manufactured in your inner spirit’s ‘Joy Factory’. Take some off the conveyor belt and pin it on your face and see what happens. And then go to the Love and Peace conveyor belt and help yourself to some of those too, or the Patience department, or the Kindness and Goodness warehouse - whatever it is you need - it’s all in there!😊

God has provided us with every grace that’s necessary for today, whether it’s Monday or Saturday because we have His Holy Spirit dwelling inside us - it’s just a matter of knowing Who and what we have. When we remember we have been made more than conquerors already, then we can tap into our conquering ability by the power of the Holy Spirit. But when we forget who we are and what we’ve been given in Jesus, then we will have a sad face.

So this is just a little encouragement to kick start your week with a smile, because you have things to do, places to go, mountains to remove, blessings to receive and blessings to give. Bring a smile and some joy to somebody else along the way and enjoy your day.

Don’t forget God is smiling at you too and here’s an extra smile from me so you have one to give away.😊x Amen.
