Revelation 19:7 (NKJV)
“Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory.”
When we are positive and see the good things that God has done, this will lift the weight from our minds and make us glad.
Romans 12:12 (NKJV)
“…rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;”
Not everything in life is easy, but be patient and speak to God in prayer, telling Him of your problems and let Him take the burden from you.
Acts 2:26 (NKJV)
“Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad; Moreover my flesh also will rest in hope.”
When we can rejoice and be glad and express it in our actions, we will also feel a physical benefit.
1 Peter 3:9 (NKJV)
“…not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.”
When wrong is done to us, revenge rarely satisfies. But, if you forgive, anger can be replaced with peace of mind.
Psalm 97:11 (NKJV)
“Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.”
When we do what is right and good, there is a peace in our hearts which will make us glad.
