Do you know that “A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.” Proverbs 17:22
Our attitudes can affect us spiritually. We need to have a positive, joy-filled attitude, or we may be in for some pain.
So, how can you have a merry heart in the midst of situations that are not necessarily joy-filled? Make a decision; I will be joyful. As you lean into God and are joy-filled, He will strengthen and bring you joy.
