“When we observe trials and tribulations in our world, there's even more reason to lighten the heavy load. Sometimes life gets tough and it's disheartening. Never mind happiness; what we genuinely need is joy! God didn't intend for us to be sad or serious all of the time. His word in Proverbs 17:22 (ESV) says, “A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” InspirationalHeartFaithHopeTrialsJoyfulEncouragement QuotesProverbsAdversity QuotesScripturesDevotionalTribulationsHarvest Of HopeGood Medicine Book:Harvest of Hope: Living Victoriously Through Adversity, A 50-Day Devotional Source: Harvest of Hope: Living Victoriously Through Adversity, A 50-Day Devotional
