HOW TRUE

"A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones."

Proverbs 17:22
King James Version

What a true statement this is because this verse describes how Jesus changed me from a life of despair and hopelessness to a life of joy and happiness.

The Heritage Singers sing one of my favorite hymns "Happiness is the Lord". I love the words in this inspiring hymn.

"Happiness is to know the Saviour, Living a life within His favour, Having a change in my behaviour, Happiness is the Lord.

Happiness is a new creation, Jesus and me in close relation, Having a part in His salvation, Happiness is the Lord.

Real joy is mine, No matter if the teardrops start, I've found a secret, It's Jesus in my heart."

I can honestly say that I never knew one day of happiness until August 14, 1980, the day I asked God to forgive me for my sins and invited Jesus into my heart to be my personal Saviour. There are not enough words to describe the happiness and joy I have had since I asked Jesus to be my Saviour.

We read in the Bible "Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy" Psalms 107:2.

Are you saying so? Does your family, your friends and all you meet know you are saved and love Jesus?

Jesus, i love You so much. Thank You for everything. One happy day I will have the privilege of seeing You face to face and I will be with You for all eternity. Are you going to be with Jesus for all eternity?
