Solomon tells us that “a happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing” (Proverbs 17:22, AMP ). God undoubtedly has a sense of humor; we need only look at some of the animals He created (it’s hard not to smile at the sight of a hippo, a monkey, or a puppy). Or think of some of the married couples you know: don’t you think God was smiling at the wedding as He looked ahead to the interaction of the wildly different personalities that will be living together?
This from an article titled “What’s Love Got to Do with It?” by Creflo Dollar:
Have you ever met a Believer who knew how to pray down a mountain, but was mean as a rattlesnake? there are a lot of Christians like that. They know the seven principles to this, and the four steps to that, but when it comes down to how they treat other people, they fall short. It doesn’t matter how “spiritual” you appear to be. If you aren’t walking in love, you are powerless. (emphasis added)
