HAPPY HEART

 
Proverbs 15:15


"All the days of the oppressed are wretched, but the cheerful heart has a continual feast." NIV


"All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast." KJV


If we allow our hearts to be ruled by the situation we are in or the things that are going on around us, we will have unsatisfied hearts. We will spread discontent and be left lonely, because a discontented heart drives others away. When we learn to be content and allow the joy of the Lord to rule our heart, no matter what, we will bask in the awesome table of God's presence and leave a scattering of joy wherever we go.


Heavenly Father, help us to keep from allowing the world to determine our happiness or sadness. May we experience Your grace to see that no matter what comes our way, You are in control, and we can let Your joy rule our hearts. Let the joy in our hearts be a blessing to everyone we meet. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
