Proverbs 15:13 

"A glad heart makes a cheerful face,
but by sorrow of heart the spirit is crushed."                     (English Standard version)

 

 

Goodmorning all,

 

Wow the humidity is very high this morning. I could not see outside of my room window, it was full of mist and cloud in Ma Wan but at least not as cold as it has been.

 

I reflected today on Proverbs as I feel it is a book of so many wise words that I need to remind myself of daily. Sometimes I forget how to be wise in some situations as I get so caught up in my daily life and with work. This is a great reminder to me today to keep a good attitude at all times that is in good and bad times. A cheerful heart will show up in our appearance. When others respond to me in ways I don't always like or agree with, I feel this scripture reminds me to keep my attitude right. I can control my attitude but I cannot always determine how others will treat me. I feel Jesus calls us to a high standard of love and how we should treat others around us. If we are feeling bad all the time we cannot enjoy the life God has given us so freely.

 

I wish for all of us to keep a content and grateful heart.

 

Have a blessed day in the Lord :=)

 

Love in Christ.
