Meditations on "Gratitude"

With God’s help and our resolve to live in the power of God’s unfailing love, the oppression of stored anger and resentment can be removed from us.

Giving our will and life over to the care of God means that we allow God to determine what is good for us, believing that He works all things according to His will for us

A humble life is grounded in a realistic view of ourselves.

When we put our hope and trust in the unfailing love of God, we become His precious children, and our Heavenly Father rejoices over us.

What a blessing when we could finally say to God, “Take my will and my life and make them conform to the plans You have for me.” 

The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love (Psalm 103:8)

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.
