Colossians 3:12<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

\u201cTherefore, as God\u2019s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colossians 3:10<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proverbs 17:22<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As believers we are supposed to live in way that isn’t common to everyone. Our choice to have a positive attitude even in the midst of difficult circumstances shows that we are living out of our spirit. There is power in a cheerful heart. Proverbs 17:22 underscores the positive impact of a cheerful heart on physical and emotional well-being, contrasting it with the detrimental effects of a broken spirit. A positive attitude will even bring health to our bodies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cannot control what others do or say, but I can<\/u> control my response to all situations<\/u>. Therefore, like David, I make a conscious decision to have a good attitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
