A merry heart keeps the body healthy

 “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.” Proverbs 17:22

If you want to keep your body healthy, you have to keep your heart cheerful. Merry heart will do your body, soul, and spirit good. Never allow anything to break your spirit. Do not allow things, situations, and circumstances to determine the state of your heart. Take charge of the gate of your heart. Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it (Prov 4:23).

“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” Philippians 4:6

“Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.” Philippians 4:11-12

If you want to keep your heart cheerful, you must pray for everything, worry for nothing. Secondly, you must be content with what you have; never worry about what you don’t have. Pray about it, find out what it takes to have it, and do it, but never allow it to take away the joy in your heart. Thirdly, you must believe that God is at work in your life. Don’t be afraid, only believe. God is faithful, and will not allow you to go down (Psalm 34:19, Prov 24:16). Fourthly Give thanks in all situations. Beloved always be thankful, for to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. Lastly, if anyone has offended you, forgive and release the person.

Let the joy of the Lord fill your heart in Jesus name.
