Topic : BE MORE GRATEFUL
Verse of the day: 1 Thessalonians 5:18:
in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Grateful Attitude is: A state of mind or feeling thankful and being appreciative for benefits received. In the above scripture carefully notice that God did not say can I encourage you to give thanks and appreciate your family, friends and Colleagues who have been of help to you? No- Instead God commands us to give thanks in everything irrespective of the circumstances or situation.
To show gratitude is to acknowledge someone for who they are or what they have done. Whatever you , appreciates. This is where you build a life of value! Jesus is interested in your gratitude that is why after healing ten lepers he asked why they did not return to show appreciation.
There is power in thanksgiving and appreciation. It provokes God to step into our circumstances and intervene.
Think of everything you criticize regularly and you will see where you have failed to appreciate or find value. Remember scripture says whatever you sow you reap. When you appreciate God or someone you are
sowing a seed for someone else to also appreciate you.
What you don’t recognise will eventually exit your life. What you celebrate appreciates. Anything unrecognized remains uncelebrated- a gift, miracle, a person. And what you respect, you attract!”
Once you begin to feel very familiar with your benefactor, you will begin to take him or her for granted.
Gratitude opens doors for you. Go out of your way and liberally sendwords or cards of appreciatic to people who have been a blessing to you in the past. A hundred fold shall be returned to you.
PRAYER: Oh Lord, I am grateful for all you have been to me and my
family in this month. Thank you for numerous wonderful people you have
connected me to in the past and now in Jesus Name.
