Matthew 12:50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother, and sister, and mother."
Some people just expect you to walk around with a permanent smile, and when you greet them they will confront you if you do not have a smile. Now when we live together and we understand each others personality there is often no need for words or even a smile. Our attitude to life is not a reflection of our face but rather a reflection of the life we live. Jesus was not a happy-go lucky person with a constant smile like Buddha, but a serious minded person doing the business of His Father. In the same way we to need to be serious minded and not trying to put on a happy face to please others, but to actually focus on the day ahead and the need to complete the work of the day to please our heavenly Father.
In the same way we need to understand that some people need you to please them all the time, what they want is what they want and they will only agree to do something if it is accordance with those wants. For them there is no compromise so they need to have happy faces about them, because in their world everything is based on their wants. They will hide this in many ways using any means available. When we understand this we need not be concerned about their wants, but rather to face the goals of the day, and do what has to be done to please our heavenly Father. It is when we have a clear focus of what we need to do in a day that we are able to achieve much, but when we become distracted we loose focus and achieve very little.
Be encouraged today not to be distracted but to focus on pleasing our heavenly Father.
David
