Be Lighthearted

Lightheartedness sings... it will not look down.
It chooses to smile and won’t wear a frown.
It has good focus, and it will not fret,
Knowing that joy more smiles will beget.

The heart is not made for burdens to carry.
Release them to God and choose to be merry.
His joy is our strength... in Him we can trust.
He’ll carry the weights about which we fussed.

Lightheartedness frees us from cumbersome weights
And steers us away from negative traits.
Walk hand-in-hand with smiles and good cheer...
A worthwhile choice when problems come near!

“For the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
Nehemiah 8:10 KJV

“This is the day which the Lord hath made: we will rejoice and be glad in it.”
Psalm 118:24 KJV
