And Be Thankful
Colossians 3:15 tells us, “And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.”
A thankless person is usually a rather negative person or someone who believes everything is always supposed to be handed to them. They do not believe they even have to say “thank you…” it is as if they deserve everything done for them. But God wants us to be the kind of people who remember to be thankful… to live a life of thanksgiving!
Yes, I know we are celebrating ‘Thanksgiving,’ and what a wonderful time to reflect on all the things we are to be thankful for. But let me encourage you to live your life in such a way that each day and not only in this season, you recognize and remember to be thankful!
Listen to what 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, “Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.” Yes, we go through difficulties and very hard places at times but we are not alone and will not be abandoned by our Eternally Faithful God!
Let’s reflect a heart/life of thanksgiving and not only now but each day! Let’s say, “Thank you” to those who do things for us just because and not take these things for granted! Let’s recognize the little things and not only be overcome by the big things! To live in this way, we will experience so much more joy and become more aware of how much we are experiencing the love of God daily!
