What an opportunity to show the world a smile though inside, you're aching all the while. For everyone has problems, and they all will sympathize, for misery is a symptom they quickly recognize.
But the thing that speaks the loudest when you are feeling low, and everyone expects to see you reeling from the blow, is when you hold your head up, look them squarely in the eye, show them you're happy, and let them wonder why.
You're in the best position that you will ever know to be a witness for Jesus, wherever you may go, for when a Christian falters, it's something they understand, but not that He keeps right on smiling, for Jesus holds his hand.
