From Jesus Lives, by Sarah Young:
THANKFULNESS
A THANKFUL ATTITUDE OPENS WINDOWS
OF HEAVEN THROUGH WHICH SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS FALL FREELY. And all I require to rain those
blessings on you is your gratitude! It seems such a simple choice; yet you
stumble over it almost every day of your life. Let Me help you become more
grateful so you an receive bountiful blessings through those openings into
eternity.
As you go
about your day, keep these things in mind: Throughout the Bible I repeatedly
command thankfulness because it is vital to your well-being. It is also crucial
for a healthy relationship with Me, since I am your Creator, your Savior, your
King. When you thank Me, you acknowledge how much I have done for you. This
attitude brings Joy both to you and to Me.
Giving
thanks is similar to priming a pump with water so that it will produce more
water. Since thankfulness is one of the spiritual blessings I bestow on you, it
will increase along with the others when you “prime” Me with thanksgiving.
Remember
that I am the God of all grace. When you fail in your endeavor to be thankful,
simply ask Me for forgiveness. As you freely receive this priceless
gift—thinking about what it cost Me—your gratitude will grow. Look up to Me and
see spiritual blessings cascading down upon you through heaven’s wide-open
windows.
Enter his gates with
thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.
PSALM 100:4
Devote yourselves to
prayer, being watchful and thankful.
COLOSSIANS 4:2
On this
Sweet Sunday, I wish you love, peace, forgiveness and a heart full of praise
and thanksgiving!
Have a
Wonderful Week—wherever in this World Y’all are!
Hugs,
ELC
