Proverbs 14:13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.
This verse is probably one most of us can relate to. How many times have we put on a fake smile when all along we were miserable inside. Too many times there are people who are really hurting on inside but will not show it on the outside because they are afraid of what people might say. The laughter is a cover up a lot of times to keep from crying. If we fail to share with someone our true feelings this is when the mirth is turned into heaviness. We need to learn from this verse that we as Christians need to know how to tell when someone is in need of that person they can relate their true feelings to and be there to listen and not condemn.
