Chris.
Cheerfulness comes from a glad heart. Cheerfulness cannot be an act. Some people, in order to please other people, or to attempt to be popular pretend to be cheerful when they are not. We should not do that. It is putting on a mask, or being a hypocrite. We need to guard our hearts - that is the advice given to us in the Book of Proverbs. Visible cheerfulness comes from a glad heart.
