1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice always … for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Surely one’s life contains both ups and downs. Moreover, according to the teachings of the Bible, we are living in a spiritual prison. Then, how can we stay joyful all the time, following the will of God?
Smile!
Proverbs 15:30 NLT A cheerful look brings joy to the heart; good news makes for good health.
We usually smile when we are happy, but did you know that we also become happier when we smile? When smiling muscles on your face contract, neurotransmitters which are responsible for making us feel joyous are released. In other words, you feel better simply by smiling.
Studies have also shown that smiling reduces stress and helps to generate positive emotions. That is why we usually feel happier when we are around children as they smile more – about 400 times a day! (Which is 380 times more than the average for adults.)
Smiling is contagious
Smiling is also a contagious gesture, which in turn, makes others feel uplifted too. When we put a smile on others’ faces, and this spreads to a wider community, even to the world, wouldn’t it be such a beautiful place to live in?
Receive the Good News!
John 15:11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
About 2,000 years ago, Jesus came to the earth to bring us a good and joyful news. What was His message then?
Matthew 4:23 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.
The good news which Jesus brought was the gospel. Through the gospel, we who are sinners living in this spiritual prison can receive the promise of inheriting the everlasting kingdom of heaven (Ephesians 3:4-6). How wonderful it is!
The way we can bring this joy to others is by preaching the gospel. When others receive salvation and abundant blessings from God, all of our hearts will be brimming with happiness and thanksgiving.
Go to a Place Full of Joy—Zion!
Isaiah 51:11 Those the Lord has rescued will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.
Hebrews 12:22-23 But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect …
In the Bible, there is a beautiful place, which is like a temporary kingdom of heaven on earth—it is Zion. When we go to Zion, being surrounded by multitudes of splendid angels, our hearts will naturally swell up with joy!
Let Us Bear Joyful Fruit of the Holy Spirit!
Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control …
Though we may not be accustomed to smiling frequently, let us practice this will of God so that we may bear abundant fruit of the Holy Spirit! May you have a joyful day, today, the next day, and every day! 😀
SMILE
Without obeying God’s will to be joyful always, we will fall into the devil’s trap of complaining and grumbling despite the overflowing blessings that God has already given us. When we are joyful, we can give thanks☺️ Let us make efforts to realise God’s will for us to be joyful always.
This article put happiness in my heart and a smile on my face! Thanks to Elohim God for giving us a reason to always be joyful! ❤

They are love. Please come to Zion where Elohim God dwell and is full of love of god.

Staying joyful all the time is very hard to do. Especially in a world filled with lack of love, sadness and anger. I as a member of the WMSCOG truly found joy in Heavenly Father and Mother and I’m grateful that I have. Thank You Heavenly Father and Mother for giving us true joy and hope.
Heavenly father and Heavenly mother always with me 🙂 so I’m happy !
Being reminded of God’s will for us truly brings a smile to my face 😀 Now that we have received the good news, we cannot possibly contain our joy! Let us be joyful always and share many smiles with the people around us every day <3
All thanks to the Spirit and the Bride who made me smile smile brightly even when it seems to be gloomy. Sometime, daily life is burdensome. However, Elohim God promised that whoever dwells in Zion will receive his goal, the salvation of his soul! In God’s sight, I’m so weak to do something. Nevertheless, God always help me with earnest prayer! I’m truly happy believing in Heavenly Parents!
God bless you! Based on personal experience, I really do feel more energetic and happier when I reach Zion, even when I’m so caught up with work. Going to Zion really makes me forget my worries of this world. I hope people will know about this wonderful place and be able to receive God’s blessings! 🙂
Amen! Come to Zion, WMSCOG, where there is joy and happiness!
Amen! Ever since knowing God the Mother, my wish came true. 😃 The hope to find everlasting happiness and joy is finally found.
Thanks for sharing! Very nice article. I will share it with my friends. Then the word of God will be in their hearts and they will receive lots of joy 🙂
