A Merry Heart – The Good Medicine

A Merry Heart Blog Cover 7-5-2021

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

~Proverbs 17:22

Isn’t it a blessing that your Heavenly Father wants you to have a merry heart? He recognizes what happens when you’re feeling sad, depressed, or wounded. His word even says that brokenness can hurt so badly until the effects of it can be felt physically. But to God be the glory, there is a flip side to being broken in spirit and that is having a merry heart. Take a look at some of the words that describe the word merry:

Jolly, cheerful, festive, glad, gleeful, happy, joyful, sunny, cheery, laughing,

light-hearted, high-spirited, and lively

Write down 3 things that make you laugh or bring joy to your heart. It could be a particular tv show, doing a kind act for someone, singing unto the Lord, or listening to children laugh. The list is endless.

A few of my favorite things that make me laugh are going on YouTube and looking at Family Feud’s funniest clips or listening to clean comedians. Remember, laughter is good for you. The Bible says so. Choose to welcome laughter and joy consistently in your life; you’ll feel better mentally, physically, and even receive the strength of the Lord.

… for the joy of the Lord is your strength.   ~ Nehemiah 8:10

It is our goal to bring you anointed words and services that inspire, encourage, and foster a closer relationship with the Lord. We thank God for you and want you to know that you’re always welcome at The Angelic Pen, “Where the words of heaven flow from God’s Heart to your spirit.”  Kimberly Smith
