Proverbs 17:22  A joyful heart is good medicine,
But a broken spirit dries up the bones.

Happy Saturday to each of my WIFI subscribers, family and friends…..Bringing you greetings all the way from Irvine, California….    Today as I awake with a grateful heart, I realized that “A joyful heart is good medicince, But a broken spirit dries up the bones….  Let go, learn to forgive
and let God have his way in your life…. 

Psalm 37:25
I have been young and now I am old, Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken Or his descendants begging bread.

King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken,
nor his seed begging bread.

Joel 3:10 (NIV) Let the weak say, “I am strong.”  

Proverbs 17:22  A merry heart doeth good like a med icine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

Proverbs 4:22 (ESV) ²² For they are  life to those who find them,  and healing to all their flesh.

Exodus 16:23 – And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

Ephesians 4:32 – And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

Luke 7:47 – Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

Genesis 33:4

“But Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept” (Gen 33:4)

Jacob is fervently praying. “Deliver me, I pray, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and attack me and the mother with the children”(Gen 32:11). He dreads the next day when he will see his brother for the first time in twenty years. Like all brothers, Jacob and Esau had quite a history, but theirs included Jacob twice scheming to defraud his brother. Jacob’s fear is not unfounded. His brother had said, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then I will kill my brother Jacob”(Gen 27:41). Hearing that, Jacob had run for his life, and had prospered in a foreign land. Now he is returning, at the head of a huge caravan, with his four wives and many children. Word comes that Esau is coming to meet him with four hundred men! Jacob thinks quickly and divides the group into two companies in case of an attack. In a final desperate act to assuage his brother’s anger, he “bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother”(Gen 33:3). The moment is tense; what will Esau do? “But Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept”(Gen 33:4).
Finally, gloriously, the grudge was ended!
