Little birds were chirping and chirping. Big birds were making a melody. It was like they were having a big party. I wanted to say to them, “Hey, birds. Have you read the newspapers lately? Did you see the stock market last year? You’re not supposed to be singing, enjoying life. What’s wrong with you? You’re acting like everything will be all right.” What was it with those birds? They know a secret. They know their heavenly Father is in control. They know God has promised to take care of them, so they go through the day singing and enjoying life, regardless of the circumstances. That’s how to start off each day. Get up in the morning and have a song of praise in your heart. Put a smile on your face. Go out into the day and be determined to enjoy it. The apostle Paul wrote: “Be happy [in your faith] and rejoice and be glad-hearted continually (always)” (1 Thessalonians 5:16 AMP). How long are we supposed to be glad-hearted? How long are we supposed to have a smile on our faces? As long as people treat us right? As long as we feel okay? As long as the economy is up? No, the Scripture says, “Be glad-hearted continually (always) .” That means in the good times and in the tough times, when it’s sunny and when it’s raining. When dark clouds are over your head and you feel like life is depressing and gloomy, always remember that right above those dark clouds the sun is shining. You may not be able to see the sun in your life right now, but that doesn’t mean it’s not up there. It’s just blocked by the dark clouds. The good news is, the clouds are temporary. The clouds will not last forever. The sun will shine in your life once again. In the meantime, keep your joy. Be glad-hearted continually. Don’t let a few clouds darken your life. The rain falls on the just and the unjust. That means we all face disappointments, unfair situations, tests, trials, and temptation. But know this: Right past the test is promotion. On the other side of every difficulty is increase. If you go through adversity with a smile on your face and a song in your heart, on the other side there will be a reward.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Joel Osteen" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/joel-osteen/i-heard-all-these-birds-singing-and-singing-so-loud-and-so-cheerful/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d35/joel-osteen-194_bird_i-heard-all-these-birds-singing-and-sing_2373383.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d35/joel-osteen-194_bird_i-heard-all-these-birds-singing-and-sing_2373383.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d35/joel-osteen-194_bird_i-heard-all-these-birds-singing-and-sing_2373383.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I heard all these birds singing and singing so loud and so cheerful.
