Title: People with Laughter / Luke 6:21
People with laughter / Luke 6:21
There is a saying that the new family members coming to Yosai Riverside Church say together. The members of the Riverside Church have bright smiles on their faces. There are kind laughter, joyful laughter, and loving laughter. I've been to several churches, and in some churches, the members have a fight instead of a smile on their faces. To say that the members of the Riverside Church have bright smiles on their faces is a very fortunate and grateful word.
Existing members of Yosai Riverside Church have one thing to say. All the new members of the new family are better than the old ones. All of them have bright faces, pure faith, and great zeal. Some new family members are already serving as worship guides, choir members, teachers, kitchen cooks, and even actively participating in early morning prayer meetings, challenging existing believers. Thank you very much.
People with laughter are happy and beautiful people. Laughter is a special gift and blessing God has given to people. Animals rarely laugh. Only people can laugh properly. I laugh because I am happy, I laugh because I am happy, I laugh because I am happy, I laugh because I love. Sometimes he screams and laughs loudly, and sometimes he smiles silently with his eyes and dimples on his lips.
The newly established Elder Kwon's laugh has a unique sound, but it is a boyish smile that makes people's hearts happy. The laughter of a priest who plays the role of the mother of the church is a warm smile that envelops many people with an open smile. Deacon Park's laugh, who works as the head of the Ministry of Education, is like a wave of laughter overflowing with sounds and expressions. Butler Baek, who keeps his seat at dawn, smiles like a quiet and clean orchid.
In fact, there are a lot of people with a smile in the riverside church to the extent that there are hardly any female deacons without a smile. The same goes for the male butler. Butler Kim, who works in the Ministry of Finance, always smiles like a boy, but mostly quietly alone. This butler, who has a lot of tears, always laughs loudly and loudly. The smile on the young man's face will never leave. Miyeon is a happy child who never loses a satisfied smile.
Among the new family members, Mrs. Lee always carries a smile on her face like a flower in full bloom. Mr. Park, who regrets that he started the marathon race too late, does not hide the smile of peace and gratitude that comes from his heart. Even Kim, who has been doing well in preparations, is unable to speak without a smile. Mr. Kim, who exaggeratedly praised the appearance of the riverside church as heavenly, never loses his own heavenly smile.
People with laughter are truly happy and beautiful people. Some people have wrongly said that Jesus did not laugh. But that is wrong. When Jesus said that he was pleased with the Holy Spirit, he must have laughed at that time. Because laughter is an expression of the feelings of the heart. Because it is an expression of a heart of joy, a heart of joy, a heart of gratitude, and a heart of love. It is said that there are joy and gladness in the presence of the Lord (Psalm 16:11).
The saints who have experienced God's salvation are overflowing with laughter and praise. “Then our mouths were full of laughter, and our tongues were full of praise” (Psalm 126:2). He who truly repents can truly laugh. “Blessed are those who weep now, and you will laugh” (Luke 6:21). I want the riverside church to be a church full of people with laughter. I want the church to be filled with pure laughter that we like and love each other, not ridicule and laughter.
