Cheerful or crushed

Proverbs 17:22 “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” Medicine is always intended to heal a person.  A happy heart is medicine which makes for an enjoyable life.  Unfortunately, the opposite is true also.  Security, peace, comfort and hope make for an enjoyable life and those wonderful feelings have one main source–a close relationship with our Heavenly Father.
