Day 8: Is God Thankful?


We look up

and say

Thank you God for __________

as

"Every good and perfect gift is from above,

coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." James 1:17

And

I wonder~

Does

God

look upon

You & I

and

say

thank you ?

Think about it....

Because

In the beginning

After

"God created mankind in His own image,

in the image of God He created them;

male and female

He created them." Genesis 1:27

"God saw

all that He had made,

and it was very good." Genesis 1:31

Therefore

I wonder~

Does

God

look upon

You & I

and say

thank you?

In the beginning God

created

You & I

and

who would create something that they are not thankful for?

But

then

even after

God's first creation

did what they wanted to do when they wanted to do it,

He still was

thankful

or

He wouldn't have

pursued them

again and again and again.

through

generation to generation

to got it right,

because

they were incapable to,

just as

you & I

are incapable to

be good enough to

go back to the Perfect Garden

where

love

peace

joy

was birthed.

So I wonder~

Does

God

look upon

you & I

and say

thank you?

But

God

never

gave up~

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son..." John 3:16

For

God

had to be

thankful for

His Creations~

for you and I~

in order for

Him to

give up

His most Precious Creation~

Himself~

His Son

to restore what was lost

to make it perfect again

for

you and I .

I wonder~

Does God look upon you & I and say thank you?

Hmmm...

I no longer wonder

because

God

goes beyond

thank you

when

He looks upon

You & I

and

says~

You are

A New Creation

A Better Version

A Forever Version

A Gift

Wrapped up in the arms of

His Son

becoming

a

Gift

To Him~

A prized possession~

"For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With His love, He will calm all your fears He will rejoice over you with joyful songs." Zephaniah 3:17

Therefore,

Thank you God

For Giving me & For Giving you

your

Prized Possession

so that we can become

your

Prized Possession.

So

who really is the

Thankful

one?

“What we are is God's gift to us.

What we become is our gift to God.” (Powell)
