cheerful A merry heart maketh a {cheerful} countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. cheerful Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth [month], and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and {cheerful} feasts; therefore love the truth and peace. cheerful For how great [is] his goodness, and how great [is] his beauty! corn shall make the young men {cheerful}, and new wine the maids. cheerful <2CO9 -7> Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a {cheerful} giver. ~~~~~~
