To be happy. Some people are surprised when I tell them that God wants us to be happy. He loves us so He wants us to be happy and joy-filled. He doesn't want us to be sad and depressed. He wants us to be light-hearted.
People are amazed that a monk is a funny guy.
All of us should take part in this kind of ministry. We should tell jokes or funny stories to people we know are lonely and depressed. We should try to spread cheer and laughter. People who believe in God and believe in His loving care are the ones who can trust He will see them through the problems of life. They know God will help them through difficult times.
