I remember years ago when I was in college I would regularly meet with a fellow Christian who always seemed to be down on the world and everyone in it. He even complained to me about me! For a while I was stumped as to what to do to help make the situation better. Speaking to him about how a Christian should have a better attitude did not work. Praying for him did not make a difference. The situation really had the best of me until one day when I met up with this struggling brother and I simply walked up to him with the biggest smile on my face and told him how good I was to see him that day!
He was so taken back that he returned in kind. He smiled back, and said how glad he was to see me too! I invited others to share my experience with this brother, and in a few weeks, all our relationships had changed for the better. All we had to do was share a little Son-shine.
Living Big In Jesus,
