Happiness and joy can be quite infectious.
"The light in the eyes [of him whose heart is joyful] rejoices the heart of others, and good news nourishes the bones." Proverbs 15:30, Amplified
Have you ever heard the expression of someone having a gleam in their eye? There are those who happiness is not worn on the sleeve, rather it is worn in the eyes. Have you ever heard the expression of someone smiling with their entire face? There are those who find it impossible to hide the joy from their face. It is our responsibility, and privilege, to spread the joy that we have in Jesus to others. Good news from this world can only go so far. But what of the news about eternity?
As we accept the Lord in to our hearts, there should be a light in our eyes that surpasses any other light source on this earth. Nothing of this world should ever be able to make us beam the way that Jesus does. Not only is the good news of eternity good for the bones, but it does wonders for the soul. Be that Christian today who spreads the love and joy of Jesus with a smile. Be that Christian today who spreads the love and joy of Jesus with a good word.
The world does not need a debate on the goodness of Jesus. The world does not want to hear about the theologies of Christianity. The needs to see the love and joy of Jesus at work in us. The world wants to hear the simple words, "Jesus loves you." What better news is there?
