Joy

A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.
Proverbs 17:22 HCSB

Joy can be found in forgiveness, it can be found in just knowing God. It can be found in the knowledge that God is good when all else fails. The times I fail and know I need forgiveness I am disinclined to rejoice but if I seek forgiveness then there is joy there.

When devastation surrounds us, incredible hurt fills our heart and sorrow is our food we can run to the Lord and find joy in the discovery of Him, in our circumstances. He is good!

Seeking and finding joy is good medicine. It heals our bodies in ways the pharmacists cannot. Joy lifts loads, joy changes atmospheres. Joy removes blankets of darkness from our minds, joy brings hope and hope brings faith and faith brings love. Joy has companions, good companions. Hang out with these, they are good for your soul. Amen!
