Positive Quote for the Week-A Merry Heart

“Choose love above hate, all day and every day. A merry heart is like natural medicine flowing through your entire body!” Erica Willis

Have you ever sat back and just analyzed a person that is filled with bitterness and hate? They are always angry, nothing satisfies them, they never have anything nice to say..ever, and you can feel their presence when they are around but not in a good way. To top it all off, a lot of times you will find that they are battling some kind of sickness in one way or another all the time!

That is why it is so significant that you make an intentional effort to always see the brighter side of things. Sure, we are going to get discouraged, disappointed, defeated, and sad from time to time but what matters is what you do when those type of situations occur. Do you allow the enemy to whisper in your ear or do you listen to the still small voice of the Holy Spirit giving you direction?

A person that is always happy and cheerful regardless of what is going on in their lives is usually healthier mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and even physically. It is so important to have a pure heart filled with love, joy, and delight; it is literally like having medicine for your soul.

The most important thing to do is to recognize when you are exhibiting unfavorable characteristics. What this does is allow you to pin point what it is that you need to work on. God wants every single one of us to have a life in abundance in every area of our lives. In order for that to happen we need to make sure that we don’t allow any negative infiltration into our hearts.

Scriptures that you can meditate on regarding loving those that don’t show love back:

John 13:34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”
John 15:12 “This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.”
