One of the traits of emotional maturity is an attitude that allows us to laugh at ourselves. As Christians, we do not need to be too serious all the time. God wants us to enjoy life; a bit of fun and laughter makes our lives enjoyable while helping us cope and release pressure. A sense of humor shows that we can handle stress and adversity without losing our composure or letting negative emotions sweep us away. When life gets painful, the ability to find humor in a situation helps us to get through it and bounce back. The joy that comes from the Lord gives us the strength to walk through life victorious; this is what God wants for us. Being able to lighten up and not get too “deep” keeps things real and helps us to be our genuine selves.
