Verse from Numbers

愿耶和华使他的脸光照你，赐恩给你；(民数记 6:25)

the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; (Numbers 6:25)

In the ancient blessing recorded in the book of Numbers we get an indication that God “smiles”: “The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace” (Num. 6:25-26). Those words are a Hebrew idiom for the favor of God on a person’s life, asking God to smile on His children.

So today, remember that you are loved by God, and that He is pleased to be gracious to you and to shine His face upon you.

Lord, may my life be so pleasing to You that You are pleased to have Your face shine on me. 

And as You graciously smile on my life, may I find someone today with whom I can share Your love through a smile.

Your smile could be a message of cheer from God to a needy soul.
