I am Grateful to God.
I woke up at an unknown time and forced myself to keep my eyes closed. By the time I gave up, it was 3.45am. I remembered to take melatonin but safe to say at 5.25am and wide awake….God please grant me sleep.
I woke up to a message from TA and what I can say is I am super grateful to have a friend who takes the time to write out things I can be grateful for against a list of things I had written were causing me pain.
Gratitude is a game changer, and I am fully aware of that fact.
“It is the lie of the enemy because you have committed to reading the Bible in a year.”
I never once considered this statement on why I suddenly started pulling out of my head past negatives. It is a revelation.
As a result, I opened my Bible app and thought…read more of God’s word. The devil will not have his way. I pulled out an old plan I never completed and what apt timing.
“Gratitude is an essential part of being a follower of Jesus.
No matter how hard life is at this moment, if you have Jesus, you have all you need. And that is something to be grateful for every day. Whatever your circumstances are, if you allow negative thoughts to linger, they can turn us into bitter, resentful humans--this doesn’t make us great representatives of what Jesus has done in our lives.
You see, gratitude is trusting that our good Father provides for every need. When we show thankfulness for what the Lord has done for us—even as we face unimaginable situations—we are showing the world that as a follower of Jesus, we believe his promises:” ‘Gratitude: The Game Changer’. http://bible.com/r/9dk
In December 2024, I wrote down 100 things I am grateful for. I do not remember what I wrote, but I will go and reread them to remind myself that for every bad incident or happening, there are 100 things I can be grateful for.
One bad should not overshadow a 100 good.
