GOD’S GOT A SENSE OF HUMOR!!!

Don’t you know that God has a sense of humor?

If you really don’t think that God has a sense of humor, then just take a look around you at ALL the people that HE created and tell me that HE doesn’t have a sense of humor!!

I really do feel sorry for ALL those folks who have been taught that laughing and cutting up and having fun is a sin!!!

God does have a sense of humor!!!  That is why HE put ALL these scriptures in the Bible!!!  He wants us to know that He has a sense of humor and HE wants and expects us to enjoy our lives!!!

Proverbs 17:22 (CEB) A joyful heart helps healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.

Proverbs 17:22 (AMP) A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.

 

We need to know for ourselves what THE WORD OF GOD says!!!  This is one of the reasons that we are told to study the Bible for ourselves!!! 

Proverbs 15:13 (NKJV) A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, But by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

Proverbs 12:25 (NKJV) Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad.

Proverbs 15:13-15 (AMP) ¹³A glad heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken.

 

    ¹⁴The mind of him who has understanding seeks knowledge and inquires after and craves it, but the mouth of the [self-confident] fool feeds on folly.

    ¹⁵All the days of the desponding and afflicted are made evil [by anxious thoughts and forebodings], but he who has a glad heart has a continual feast [regardless of circumstances].

 

Here is the scripture that some preachers use to say that you are NOT supposed to be having fun, making jokes and cutting up.

Ephesians 5:4 neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. 

If you read the verses before this one, they tell us as saints (saved folks) to walk in love.  It also tells some other things that saved folks are NOT supposed to be doing then it comes to verse 5.

So, I looked up jesting, and I found that the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary says, 1: an utterance (as a jeer or quip) intended to be taken as mockery or humor. 

Then in the Free Online Dictionary it shows, 3. An object of ridicule; a laughingstock. 

So, both of these dictionaries verify the thought that came to me.  Jesting is making fun of someone or something someone does.  We ALL know that doing that is NOT the WILL of GOD!!!  He wants us to WALK IN LOVE!!!   

So, NO!!  God does NOT want us to go around making fun of folks and hurting their feelings!!!

But HE does NOT have a problem with us being good natured and teasing and cutting up with others as long as everyone is happy, light hearted and having fun!!! 

As long as we are walking in LOVE, then we don’t have to worry!!!  If we do something wrong or hurt someone GOD will tell us!!!  

And that’s when we go back and apologize!!!

LAUGHTER DOETH GOOD LIKE A MEDICINE!!!

Just remember that GOD DOES HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR!!!  He made me and you!!!  Laugh a little bit!  Have fun!!!  Enjoy life!!!
