Have you heard anyone use the word disposition? The word disposition speaks of the inherent qualities in our character.

Followers of Christ should display a pleasant and cheerful disposition.

I know that we fail sometimes. However, if we allow the Lord to develop his character in us, he is faithful to get us where we need to be.

Romans 14:17Modern English Version

¹⁷ For the kingdom of God does not mean eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Proverbs 15:13-15Modern English Version

¹³ A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance,
    but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

¹⁴ The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge,
    but the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.

¹⁵ All the days of the afflicted are evil,
    but he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast.
