Meditations on "Gratitude"

When we put our hand into the hand of God, He will strengthen and support us as we become willing to make amends to those we have harmed. 

Each of us knows deep down inside us that there must be a God for we are unable to cope with life on our own.

The great faith that we need to develop is to trust that “when the time is right” God’s help will be there for us.

We are created to serve God and bring joy and blessing to others. 

God promises to show us the way forward.

Strength comes as we learn to give thanks to God, who is good, and whose love is available to us 24/7.

In difficult times, rather that running from God, we need to draw closer to Him and let His unfailing love ease the pain we are feeling. 

There is hope for each of us to leave the past behind and move forward to become the person we were created to be.

Our restored self-worth is not based on what we may feel or what others say about us, but rather on what God says.

Get down on your knees before the Master; it's the only way you'll get on your feet (James 4:10 MSG)

While it is good to do our part to work towards solutions, in the end it always comes back to seeking God’s will in the moment and trusting God’s plan to work for us. 

It is God's desire that we live joyfully today. Let's follow His instructions and let the joy flow.
