Happy November 1!
Let's begin our 22 Days of
GRATITUDE
by
THANKING GOD
for something
or
for someone
that you really don't want to be thankful for.
Hmm...
now that sounds a wee bit harsh,
but let me explain.
Is it
A circumstance that is out of your control?
A path that you don't want to walk?
The image you see in the mirror?
Is it
an unresolved conflict?
a misunderstanding?
a breach of trust?
Whatever
"IT" is
place it in the blank.~
THANK YOU GOD for ____________________,
because I know that YOU love me.
Short and simple
yet so hard to do at times
when "THANK YOU" are the last words that you want to say.
But
we aren't rejoicing over the
"IT"
that may be causing us great pain.
GRATITUDE
it is rejoicing over
who
GOD IS
in the midsts of the
"IT"~
just as Paul, who penned these words while he was in prison, did~
“Sing and make music in your heart to the LORD, always giving
THANKS to GOD THE FATHER for everything,
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Ephesians 5:19-20)
Because we know that
GOD
is
GOD
and
JESUS
is
JESUS~
JOY is HIM
PEACE is HIM
HOPE is HIM
and
HE
never changes.
Let's take a step of
GRATITUDE
and experience
an
EXTRAORDINARY GOD
in the midst of the
less than extraordinary,
by just not going through the
MOTIONS (LISTEN BELOW)
