The word “smile” is not mentioned in the Bible, but the following verses suggest that a smile is connected to:
1) Source. A Smile comes from a happy heart. The Bible says, “A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit” (Proverbs 15:13).
2) Nourishment. A
Cheerful Heart not only brings a smile, but it is something that nourishes
people. Scripture says, “All the days of the oppressed are wretched, but the cheerful
heart has a continual feast” (Proverbs 15:15).
3) Health. A
Cheerful Heart brings a Smile, but it also provides health to the body. In the Bible we are told, “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed
spirit dries up the bones” (Proverbs 17:22).
Smiles are a great way to do a lot of things. For example, a smile will provide a warm welcome for people, bring encouragement to them, and let them know they are important. In addition, a smile reveals love and shows kindness.
Leo F. Buscaglia said, “Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” Let’s think about smiling more. A smile is good for you. A smile is good for other people. A smile will please God.
