"I will give thanks to you, Lord; with all my heart I will tell of all your wonderful Deeds". Psalm 9:1
How many times have we welled up with bitterness when no one notices or says thank-you when you do simple acts of kindness towards other people. You wait and wait but,"They only have a 'critical heart' ." And when they say thank you ,do you ever get the feeling it's not sincere?
"For where your treasure is , there your heart will be also".Matthew 6:21
When we are thankful, our focus moves off selfish desires and off the pain of current circumstances. Expressing thankfulness helps us remember that God is in control. Thankfulness, then, is not only appropriate; it is actually healthy and beneficial to us. It reminds us of the bigger picture, that we belong to God, and that we have been blessed with every spiritual blessing (Ephesians 1:3). Truly, we have an abundant life (John 10:10), and gratefulness is fitting.
So on this day as we celebrate Thanksgiving, see the goodness around us.
I invite us all to not be distracted by the brokenness of this world but practice gratitude by doing simple acts of kindness towards other people. When you’re being kind to others, you’re not the only one who’s giving away something. In fact, you are getting a lot, if not more, in return.
Make Thankfulness a way of life with the mindset of Christ.
Psalm 136:1 says, " Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever. " let us recognize our faults and understand that without God there is only death. God desires His people in every generation to be generous-hearted givers. He wants His children to trust “that God is able to make all grace abound.” And He bountifully provides all we need.
God Bless You and This Ministry!
