Proverbs: When People Are Happy

Wisdom that sticks with you - straight from God's Word.

“When people are happy, they smile, but when they are sad, they look depressed,” (Proverbs 15:13, GNB).

A person’s countenance is a mirror of what is happening in the inner self.

A different translation puts it this way, "A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken," (NKJV).    

Knowing the outward signs allows us to help and encourage those around us, and to steady our own emotions.

What have you done today to bring out a smile in others?
