Proverbs 15:13

Proverbs 15:14 says, "A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, But by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken."

Oh, how good it is to be around someone who has a merry heart (someone who is full of joy), it gives us joy, brings a smile to our face and affects the whole atmosphere. The same goes for a person who is sorrowful (sad), if you are around someone is depressed, downcast it affects you also. A person who is negative can break your spirit.

Bottom line: If you have a merry heart, it will show in your countenance and you will be cheerful and bring cheer to others. If you have sorrow of heart, it will show on your countenance and will break your spirit and can break the spirits of others also.
