Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
Gratitude is an attitude of repentance. Repentance is a mind-set realizing one needs to lock unto the God of the universe and change one’s thinking from a self-centered perspective into a Christ-center worldview.
To acknowledge the self as not the center of the universe and there is Someone greater than self who made everything possible, is a position of humility reflected through one’s attitude.
When one begins this journey, one finds many reasons to be thankful.
Thankful for knowing one’s blessing is not necessarily due to one’s superior talent, above average intelligence, or persuasive demeanor, but being at the right place and the proper time with the ideal people to bring it all about.
Thankful for realizing how blessed one is for being born this time in history.
Thankful for appreciating all the people in your life who contributed toward your success to date.
Thankful for knowing we are all dead trees blowing in the wind apart from God who shares His life and Spirit which enriches us every day.
Thankful for realizing everything was created by Christ for Christ and shared with us through Christ.
Thankful for appreciating our value in Christ.
Thankful for knowing the truth which leads to freedom and contentment.
Thankful for realizing your potential as a person which begins in God and comes from God and revealed through you.
Thankful for appreciating who you are in relationship with others who likewise are included in Christ.
There is much to be thankful for as we travel through the day. For we eventually come to know and see that whatever good we see and whatever great gifts we experience, comes from the Triune God who brings it about for you and me for the purpose of truly coming to know Him.
Knowing, realizing, and appreciating Him for who He IS makes being grateful for even the everyday mundane routine activities of the day. Why? Because He is involved with you through it all.
Gratitude 101 is the basic fundamental foundation of coming to appreciate God’s involvement in your life.
Rooting For You in Christ!
