May 19: Cheerfulness and Contentment.
The Lord Helps and Heals.
A cheerful heart is a good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person's strength.--Proverbs 17:22, NLT
THE RELATION THAT EXISTS between the mind and the body is very intimate. When one is affected, the other sympathizes. The condition of the mind affects the health to a far greater degree than many realize. Many of the diseases from which men suffer are the results of mental depression. Grief, anxiety, discontent, remorse, guilt, distrust, all tend to break down the life forces and to invite decay and death....
Courage, hope, faith, sympathy, love, promote health and prolong life. A contented mind, a cheerful spirit, is health to the body and strength to the soul. "A merry [rejoicing] heart doeth good like medicine." Proverbs 17:22,--The Ministry of Healing, 241.
Christ is the wellspring of life. That which many need is to have a clearer knowledge of Him; they need to be patiently and kindly, yet earnestly, taught how the whole being may be thrown open to the healing agencies of heaven. When the sunlight of God's love illuminates the darkened chambers of the soul, restless weariness and dissatisfaction will cease, and satisfying joys will give vigor to the mind and health and energy to the body.--The Ministry of Healing, 247.
Being cheerful keeps you healthy.
It is slow death to be gloomy all the time.
--Proverbs 17:22, GNT
