I opened up my email today to find the KLOVE verse of the day in my inbox. Upon opening the email, I found the following verse awaiting me: "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person's strength."~ Proverbs 17:22, NLT I had to chuckle to myself because this is just what God has been showing me today. I woke up this morning (for some unknown reason) feeling very perky and happy! This is not the norm for me as I typically wake up dreading the school day and worrying about all that must be accomplished. So...the day started out on a good foot. As the day has progressed, I have only felt myself becoming more and more joyful! I was perplexed at my own good attitude and wondered to myself, "Is it possible to be this happy and still be in college approaching finals?" A still small voice inside me answered back, "Yes, if God is on your side!" This only increased my level of joy. As I have relished the cheerful heart which God has so blessed me with today, I can really see the truth of the verse in Proverbs. I really do feel more rested, more focused, and more determined. I would encourage all of us to focus on the positives (no matter how small) today. Make a decision to refuse to let little annoyances, or big problems, get you down. I am reminded of the line from a song in Mary Poppins, "A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down in the most delightful way." Thankfully, the dosage of medicine which comes from a good heart has turned out to taste oh so sweet! Praise God for His love and ask Him to give you a dose of good medicine!God Bless!
