Beyond the smile

Hello Friend, indeed we can look beyond the smiles on peoples faces and know that all is not well. Sometimes, don't ask someone 'Are you hungry?' Just go ahead and give him food, because when he is asked, he might say he's fine, but beyond that smile lies hunger! Beyond that smile lies heaviness! Beyond that smile lies the thoughts of suicide! Do you know that the last suicider probably smiled some minute before he went on with his suicide? If we look beyond people's smiles and reach out to them fully knowing what they need, then are we the Children of the Living GOD. #Peace

Don't ask someone ' Are you hungry?' just go ahead and give him food. I agree with you, my friend.

Sometimes all we need to do to look past those smiles is to look at the eyes. The eyes are the windows to the soul. When we reach out through the transparency seen in those eyes, we are indeed serving our Lord Jesus Christ.

Yes Valerie. The eyes tells all of man's trials. Sometimes we just gatta open our eyes and see!

In India it is not followed nowadays. People cheat you like anything. They became money minded. If you do like that they will become regular visitors to your house.

That's funny. Notwithstanding, don't close your eyes to hurting people, especially when you can obviously see it in their eyes as @just4him has said.
