A Joyful Heart is Good Medicine

A joyful heart is always good medicine.

We aren’t transformed by our commitments to be more productive—we’re changed by God’s blessing. Blessing is God’s plan for your empowerment. There’s no better way to start your day than receiving a reminder of who you are made to be in Christ.

Open your heart and be empowered by today’s blessing from Proverbs 17:22:

Every poison needs a unique antidote.

            Every pox needs a specific solution.

            Every pandemic needs a distinctive vaccine.

            But you have a medicine available that works wonders no matter the malady—

                                    A joyful heart.

            Amidst the troubles of the times, I bless you this day to have a merry heart.

            May your heart be light and your laughter be hearty.

            May your meditations be delightful and your contemplations hopeful.

            Go ahead, drink deep of the joy of the Spirit!

            There’s no fine print.

A joyful heart is a good medicine—and it has no harmful side effects.

And that’s the Gospel!
