A THANKFUL HEART How does the famous Bible verse of I Thess 5:18 go? Is it “in everything give thanks…” or is it “for everything give thanks…”? God expects us to cycle through different emotional states because we’re human and He understands us better than we do ourselves! Cycling through strong emotions such as anger, fear and sadness is a normal part of life. Knowing in our hearts that all things are possible with God doesn’t mean that we won’t feel pain of despair every now and then. What’s important is that we don’t allow these emotions to dictate how we interact with others and dream our life ahead. Use your faith to continue to give God thanks for all that He has done in your life, in spite of any difficulties that you may be experiencing. Always pray and declare to God that even though you can’t see how He is working things out for the good, that you are thankful for His presence in the midst of the circumstances. Though not expressing thanks for the actual circumstances themselves, you can be thankful for the blessed assurance that God is an ever-present help to us all in times of trouble. Faith believes and expects the impossible! Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow. Be thankful for your limitations because they give you opportunities for improvement. Be thankful for each new challenge because it will build your strength and character. ~ Unknown And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful..... And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. (Colossians 3:15-17 NKJV)
