Letting go of negativity - Day 2

Proverbs 17:22 - A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

A few years back, I visited some friends who live outside of town. We were leisurely talking about a situation, and the conversation started getting slightly negative. As the conversation continued, my friend spoke up in his home and said very calmly and politely, “why are we talking about them? They are not here, and all this is doing is producing more negativity”. Immediately I was reminded about the atmosphere we produce and how it affects those around us.

It’s easy to share our personal opinion, but my grandpa used to say, “if it ain’t anything good, don’t speak it.”

I encourage you to keep your heart pure, cheerful, and full of joy because it’s medicine to your soul and the relationships around you.

Prayer: Lord, teach me always to speak life and empower my brothers and sisters in Christ. Not to tear down but to build up and truly love them the way you love. Amen
