THANKFULNESS!
A THANKFUL ATTITUDE OPENS WINDOWS of heaven from which spiritual
blessings fall freely. This is quite an image, isn't it? And all I
require to rain those blessings on you is your gratitude! It seems such
a simple choice; yet you stumble over it almost every day of your
life. I am eager to help you become more grateful so you can receive
bountiful blessings from those openings into eternity.
As you go about your day, keep these things in mind: Throughout the Bible I repeatedly command thankfulness because it is vital to your well-being. It is also crucial for a healthy relationship with Me, since I am your Creator, your Savior, your King. When you thank Me, you acknowledge how much I have done for you. This attitude brings Joy both to you and to Me.
Giving thanks is similar to priming a pump with water so that it will produce more water. Since thankfulness is one of the spiritual blessings I bestow on you, it will increase along with the others when you "prime" Me with thanksgiving.
Remember that I am the God of all grace. When you fail in your endeavor to be thankful, simply ask Me for forgiveness. As you freely receive this priceless gift - thinking about what it cost Me - your gratitude will grow. Look up to Me and watch for spiritual blessings to come cascading down upon you through heaven's wide-open windows.
"Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name." Psalm 100:4 As you go about your day, keep these things in mind: Throughout the Bible I repeatedly command thankfulness because it is vital to your well-being. It is also crucial for a healthy relationship with Me, since I am your Creator, your Savior, your King. When you thank Me, you acknowledge how much I have done for you.
