“A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, But by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.” Proverbs 15:13 NKJV
The best way to physically dress up for the day is to put on a smile. A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. “A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones.” Prov 17:22 NKJV.
Having a merry heart will affect your mind, your emotions, and your physical body. This is not only stated in the Bible, but proven by medical science as well.
“Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad.” Prov 12:25 NKJV Burying your head in sorrow or self-pity will not solve your problems. It can only add health challenges to the existing issues. Cast your cares on God and put on a smile.
“They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces were not ashamed.” Psa. 34:5 NKJV
Father, I thank you for giving me reasons to rejoice. For the joy of the Lord is my strength.
Shalom!
