A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones. (Prov 17:22) The Bible isnt a psychology textbook, but it gives us the wisest counsel for experiencing happiness here & now. Proverbs 17:22 assures us of this. Dr. D. Mark, a heart specialist at Duke University wrote: Optimism can make life for heart patients & pessimism death. His article begins: A healthy outlook helps heal the heart. Dr. Frazier-Smith, a heart specialist who has studied the effect of depression, anxiety & anger, admitted, We dont know how to change negative emotions. However, faith in God can produce that change. People who look beyond their present difficulty & put their trust in Gods goodness cannot help but be joyful. Knowing that life is filled with many crises, Jesus encourages us with this word of reassurance: Be of good cheer, Ive overcome the world. (John 16:33) A REASON FOR OPTIMISM!!!
