Cheerfulness reflects on our countenance. So smile, pray and be thankful no matter what as a reflection of our hearts towards Jesus.
Well, I’m thinking (at least for me as I’m not really a “cheery” person) that I would HAVE to pray all the time in order to be cheerful ALL of the time. So, the smiley cheery part of this verse is where I can see being the hardest part for me. Pray all the time… I can do that. While I’m folding the laundry, doing the dishes, saying “Oh God help me with these children!” I actually can see the power and strength in thanking God no matter what happens. Even in the hard times, the painful times, I am determined to learn what I can a through it. I am convinced that God can be glorified through the heart aches of life.
Jesus, you are so worth smiling about. You are fun to talk to. You reveal your steadfast character to me through all of life’s situations, and for that I am so thankful.
