Celebrate! 7

My child, if your heart is wise, my own heart will rejoice! Everything in me will celebrate when you speak what is right. Proverbs 23:15-16

The heart to the Hebrews represented a person’s mind or emotions, whereas the breath represented the soul or life and the body depicted strength. We are to love the Lord our God…And you must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. Deuteronomy 6:5.

So little kiddo, if your heart—that is your mind, the way your think and speak—is wise in regards to understanding about God—I am very happy. Like Solomon wrote, I’m going to celebrate.  I’ll celebrate when you speak kindly to others, when you treat others like you would treat Jesus Himself. That is really something about which to applaud and rejoice! Let’s celebrate good behavior! I celebrate you!

Good behavior isn’t always easy to achieve, but you can do it. Make good choices. Remember the verse…For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13. All things—not just some things. If you have problems, pray about it. Ask Jesus to help you think, say and do the right things! Can you do that? 

Prayer ~ Dear Jesus, help us each to make good decisions to treat others kindly—like You did.


Happy Birthday, Sweet Liberty!
May God bless you and may you make good decisions as you walk down the path of life.
