Bible Verse for March 29th.

A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer to the bones.

Proverbs 14:30
NLT Bible

Everyone wants peace in life, but sometimes in our quest for it, we wind up sabotaging ourselves. Many things can steal our peace. Sometimes we choose to haggle over seemingly insignificant things, arguing and 'nitpicking' over everything instead of wisely choosing our battles. Some of us may allow jealousy to run rampant in our lives and slowly, it eats away at us, until we have no peace whatsoever. We cannot allow circumstances or people to rob us of our peace.

When we lack peace, it affects us emotionally, physically and spiritually. We become stressed and seem to be on a constant roller coaster. To enjoy the peace that God freely gives, we must let go of anger, envy, hatred, bitterness, strife and the need for control and focus on all that is good, pure and holy. We need to surrender every negative emotion to God as we bask in His Presence and allow His peace to permeate our hearts and minds. As we continue to do this, we are able to enjoy the benefits of a peaceful heart.

Thank you Lord for Your peace. I surrender every negative emotion that threatens to rob me of my peace and with Your help, I choose to focus on all that is holy and righteous. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!
