Joyful laughter is a gift from God, bringing happiness and relief to those who experience it. In Proverbs, it is noted that a merry heart does good like a medicine, highlighting its healing properties. The Psalms and Job also reference laughter, with Psalms 126:2 recalling the Lord's restoration of His people, filling their mouths with laughter. Additionally, Ecclesiastes and Luke's Gospel, such as in Luke 6:21, acknowledge the appropriateness of laughter in its season, as well as its role in expressing joy and blessedness.
