864 STRONG – YOU MATTER.

He was despised and rejected—a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care. Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins!
-Isaiah 53:3-4

Our old history ends with the cross; our new history begins with our resurrection.
Watchman Nee

SMILE! Smiling has many benefits.

Studies show that a genuine smile contributes to your health. It can lift your mood, alleviate your stress, and relieve any pain you’re feeling. Did you know that it can even regulate your blood pressure?

Indeed, smiling (and generally being happy) regularly affects your health by relaxing your muscles, then regulating your heart rate and blood pressure. It can boost your immunity as well, protecting you from many possible diseases. Studies and research can attest to that.

But more than what it can do to your health, smiling is regarded as one of the simplest ways to lighten up your day. Haven’t you noticed how people who often smile a lot attract positivity?
