Health

S ~ A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones. Proverbs 14:30

O ~ Poetic. A proverb - not a precept. A principle, not a promise.

A ~ Here is one of those verses that is a guideline, not a basher - as in to bash someone on the head with.  It does not mean if your body is not healthy, it is because you have a lack of peace in your heart, nor does it mean that cancer comes from being jealous. It means that a peaceful heart helps  - as certainly stress plays a factor in affecting your body. And jealosly spreads and does deep damage, just like cancer. So, try and have a peaceful heart and don't be jealous - it's not a promise of a healthy cancer free life - it just is better this way. Have peace and don't be jealous - it affects everything in a positive way.

P ~ Lord, thank You for your gracious, kind, non-bashing words today. May my heart be full of peace, and my life be free from jealousy - and may I pass that on to others.
