Joyce Meyers said, “Life is not your circumstances, the kind of house you live in, the kind of job you have or how much money you have. You can have the best of these things and still be miserable. On the other hand, it’s amazing how happy and peaceful you can be in the middle of the lousiest circumstances, including the turmoil that’s going on in the world today, if you keep your heart in the right condition.”
Make sure that your heart is in the right condition because it forms your thoughts and the attitudes that shape who you are. The heart is the center of your being as Proverbs 4:23 warns, “Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.”
What is the condition of your heart? Is it happy and peaceful or is it miserable? Maybe the medicine you need is gratitude.
Thank God for what you do have: whether it’s your job, your friends, your family, or for giving you another day to see His beauty all around. Even if you don’t feel thankful, begin thanking God. As you start developing this thankful heart, you are bringing healing into your life. You will begin to feel uplifted and encouraged. You will begin to live with joy.
