Day 2.
I know it’s a day late, but I should really be thankful everyday. So if you don’t mind:
I never gave it much thought before, but I could not thank God any more for
proving me wrong everytime.
The Thanksgiving message given at my church this week talked about gratitude’s consistency. And, I know the more I am aware of His blessings, the more overwhelmed I become by His present goodness. Humbled hearts go a long way because all the weight of regret and shame is lifted from our spirits. But I don’t know why I always thought I only needed to be thankful when it “seemed necessary.” If I were to only give thanks to God for all the blessings in my life once a year, I’d be living a pretty premature life. I wouldn’t even know if I’d be growing or still have the Holy Spirit within me.
So, today, and hopefully for the rest of my life, I give thanks. I thank God that I get so much joy and pain when I seek the Spirit. I gotta give it up to Him even when I’m down and full of regret, suffering great loss and tragedy, because that’s what makes Him the very foundation of my growth. I can’t grasp how good He really is to me. And I mean it, I really can’t.
And I thank God for you too, reader!
Ephesians 5:18-20.
