Do you have a cheerful heart? Proverbs 15:13

Good morning everyone!!! What a great day to be thankful to be one of God's children!!!! You know, as a child of God we should be cheerful. If we are truly Christians, WHY do we walk around complaining and are not cheerful. Why should we be sad, unhappy, grumpy, mad, bitter? Proverbs 15:13 "A MERRY HEART MAKETH A CHEERFUL COUNTENANCE: BUY BY SORROW OR THE HEART THE SPIRIT IS BROKEN." The Life Application Bible "a glad heart makes a happy face; a broken heart crushes the spirit." Now what is this saying? Oh, did the verse mention HEART? Well, of course it did!!! If you heart has been given to Jesus, we should be happy as we know Jesus promises us lives of abundance and joy, Christ does not force His joy upon us, we must claim his joy for ourselves. When we do, Jesus fills our spirits with His power and His love. Is Jesus, the Saviour of mankind, at the center of your life? If not, and you claim to be a Christian....then....WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM? As one of God's children we can share Christ's joy and His message with a world that needs both. We should do our Christian life just as we do our prayer life....pray boldly and confindently and then claim the victory. As a Christian we should go forth boldly and confidently and claim our victory in Christ. Yeah, okay, what victory? We have conquered death!!! Proverbs 15:15 (Holman CSB) A cheerful heart has a continual feast. James 5:13 (Holman CSB) Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises Proverbs 15:30 (Holman CSB) Bright eyes cheer the heart; good news strengthens the bones. Where is your heart. Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart does good, like medicine. Stop, Drop, Pray......and be sure you have given God total control of your heart. Thanks for dropping in. Love you all. Once again, if you do not wish to receive these daily devotionals please let me know. I am trying to shorten them so they will only take 1 to 2 minutes of your time. However, remember, Christ needs ALL your time, whether it be in devotion, example, or spreading the gospel. Bye now!! :-)In Christ's Love and Grace Johnny
