Today, I'm exercising my faith muscles! Thanks to Lauren Kitchens for reminding me of this great old proverb (Proverbs 31:25)which says of the noble woman that "she can (and will) laugh at the days to come." I love that!
I don't know about you, but I want laughter to be my food...and mirth my drink! So I keep thinking of these wise, old sayings like:
"A heart at peace give life to the body, but envy rots the bones." (Prov 14:30)
"The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life..."(Prov 15:4)
"A happy heart makes the face cheerful..."(Prov 15:13)
"A cheerful look brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones." (Prov 15:30)
"Blessed are you who weep now, for you WILL laugh." (Luke 6:21)
And finally, I love this passage from John 16 (22-24): "Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. In that day you will no longer ask me anything. I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask for in my name. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete."
