📖 "In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight."

✍️ In our text we are using for a starting point we read, "At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, 'I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.'" All three members of the Godhead are here associated with smile, joy and pleasure. It is because God is the creator of smile, joy and pleasure, and Jesus exhibited smile, joy on its highest level, and this would be impossible had He never had the joy and pleasure of laughter. Deny Him this and you do not have the ideal man and the perfect specimen of manhood, but a being unlike the best of men that we know of in history. May God give you🫵 divine smile that will attract favour to you🫵 from men, bringing over-flow of joy to your spirit today in Jesus Name🙏.

Man is the only creature that was made to laugh. We are made in the image of God and have this unique characteristic that no other creature possesses. This leads to the logical conclusion that God is a God of smile and laughter, for we are made to smile and laugh, and so this must be a part of the image of God. To be fully human is to be able to know when to be silent, smile and laugh. To be fully human is to be God-like, and this means silence, smile and laughter has to be a characteristic of one's being.

Humor then is both human and divine, for it has its origin in the nature of God. If Jesus was both God and man, then He had the gift of laughter and a sense of humor in greater proportion than any other person who ever lived. May God give you🫵 Christ-like characters today in your daily activities in Jesus Name 🙏.

Successful people have three things on their lips, "smile, laughter and silence". Smile and laughter can solve a problem, Silence can avoid problems. Sugar and salt 🧂 may be mixed together but ants 🐜 reject the salt 🧂 and carry away only the sugar. Select the right people in life and make your life better and sweeter. If you🫵 fail to achieve your dreams, change your ways not your God. Remember, trees 🌴 change their leaves and not their roots. You🫵 will never reach your destination if you🫵 stop and throw stones at every dog 🐕 that barks. Haters will see you walk (jig) on water 🌊 and say it's because you can't swim.

Even if you dance on water, your enemies will accuse you of raising dust. Make it your ambition to live a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your own hands. Remember don't ever wrestle with a pig 🐖. You'll both get dirty. But the pig 🐖 will enjoy it. Be inspired and have a great day. Be kind and share your smile, laughter and silence to avoid destiny distractors. God is walking from door 🚪 to door 🚪 depositing success and good health. He has just left my home and asked me who He could go to next. I directed Him to your house. May God give you🫵 the grace of smile and laughter to your success in life in Jesus Name 🙏.
