Sometimes, we let our appearance betray us before other. It gives us away, letting everyone know if all is well or not well with us. This wasn't the case with Jesus, our perfect example. Although He had no form of comeliness. That is, there was no beauty or majesty left in him to attract anyone or be desired after he had gone to the cross. But it was for a just cause, to redeem mankind back to God. He never looked uncheerful, discouraged or drained while here, even though He knew the nature of His death.
You don't have to look like what you're going through. Do not wear your challenge like a garment. Don't become a subject of public sympathy and gossip. Be real, you need not fake anything but you can be cheerful while dealing with even a tough problem. Cheerfulness helps lighten the burden and inspires faith. Cheerfulness may attract the kindness that gloominess may not. Reckon that everyone goes through rough patches and yours might not even be the worse.
