Having A Grateful Heart 

When you think of being thankful or grateful, what comes mind?  It’s easy to recognize big blessings in our lives, but we often overlook the small things that God does for us on a daily basis. 

Maybe this year hasn’t gone well for you and the future doesn’t look much brighter.  Friend, if you’re a believer in Christ, you have a great future and it starts with your outlook on today. 

No matter what the world is experiencing, we have hope that God will work it all out for those who love Him.  That’s something to shout about in itself. 

“But as it is written: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, 

nor have entered into the heart of man the things

which God has prepared for those who love Him.” 

(1 Corinthians 2:9 NKJV) 

Everyone has something to celebrate and give thanks for, but we often elevate the negative overlooking anything positive, which spoils the good that does come.  

“In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”  
(1 Thessalonians 5:18 NKJV) 

Train yourself to focus on good things by giving thanks with a grateful heart.  See how your outlook on life and attitude changes, when you take notice by magnifying the good.  You may be pleasantly surprised!

Don’t take anything for granted.  What are you grateful for and how can you show gratitude so others will take that step of faith in believing God? 

Let gratitude become a part of your daily routine.  Get your mind off the negative and focus on the good things God has done for you.  See what God will do when you show gratitude by being thankful.  (cw)

 “I will praise You, O LORD, with my whole heart;

I will tell of all Your marvelous works.”  (Psalm 9:1 NKJV)
