Giving Gratitude to God

  • Most of us know, cultivating a grateful heart is an integral component of showing God that we are grateful for His blessings. While practicing daily thankfulness may seem like another chore to some, I hope to convince you that the power of gratitude far outweighs the few minutes it takes practice it. Developing a grateful heart brings incredible blessings. When we thank God openly and acknowledge what He’s done for us, we proclaim a personal, caring God to the world around us. We show that contentment and peace come not from what we have but Who provided it to us. The Bible tells us in Psalm 105:1; “ Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done.“ Realizing God’s abundant goodness, even in the hardest of times, is a gateway for peace and joy. Gratitude helps us see that God’s hand is all over our circumstances. God tells us when we give him our thanks, He gives us what our heart desires. So don’t say; “that you’re lucky”. Rather, say; “I am blessed” and give glory to God for what He has done in your life...
