Importance of gratitude

God has been so good to us and it’s very important that we continue to appreciate everything that He’s doing in our lives. I think sometimes we take things for granted and we don’t really appreciate all things.  Things like being able to walk, to talk, to eat, to taste, to sleep, to hear, to feel, to have a job, to have a car, to still be alive and so on and so on and so on.  God’s Grace is so precious and we really need to always be thankful of all things.
 
In Hebrews 12:28 the word says:
"Therefore, we who are receiving the unshakable kingdom should have gratitude, with which we should offer worship pleasing to God in reverence and awe."


That is gratitude and it’s what we’re called to do in terms of appreciating and accepting the Grace.  Words just can’t express the appreciation that I have for God and every time I feel like I need to complain, this is what I think about.  God’s grace to me.  We all are human but the more we get closer to Him and spend that quality time with Him, we’re aware of the simple things in life that are given to us each day.
 
We came in the world with nothing and we’ll leave the world with nothing so what really matters.  What matters is whatever God is calling us to do, be thankful and to become more like children with humility so we can enter the Kingdom of heaven.
 
 In Matthew 18:3 the word says:
 
"Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven."
 
Let’s continue to have gratitude for all things, especially the simple things in life and respect one another, love one another, forgive our neighbor and accept God’s Grace each day one day at a time.
 
Amen and Thank You Jesus
