The Lighter Side
He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.—Job 8:21 (NIV)
Laughter and joy are great sources of strength. When you choose to see the humor in a situation by looking to the lighter side during dark times, you discover that you can find joy even in the midst of trouble.
Heavenly Father, You are the Light of the lighter side. Fill me with Your joy so that I smile easily and laugh out loud.
