Last night I had the privilege of speaking at VWC and my topic was "An Attitude of Gratitude".
No matter what we feel we may be missing in life, if we are children of God we have so much to be thankful for. Don't be tempted to focus on what you don't have, focus on your blessings instead. God has been so good to us that He deserves our praise everyday. No one has a perfect life and we all have our challenges, keeping our attitude right is so important.
Here are a few of the Scriptures I shared last night.
Psalm 35:18
Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous for praise is becoming and appropriate for those who are upright in heart.
1 Thess. 5:16-18
Always be joyful. Keep on praying. No matter what happens, always be thankful, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
Col. 2:6-7
And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to live in obedience to him. Let your roots grow down into him and draw nourishment from him, so you will grow in faith, strong and vigorous in the truth you were taught. Let your lives overflow with thanksgiving for all he has done.
What are you grateful for?
I am grateful for my wonderful Pastors among many many other things!!!
