Proverbs 17:22
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,
For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
