Be thankful.


Colossians chapter 3 verse 17.
"Whatever you do or say , let it be as a representative of the Lord Jesus, and come with Him into the presence of God the Father to give Him your thanks."

No matter who you are, you are alive and breathing. That means you do things. maybe it is inventing or it is being a couch potato. Maybe you serve others or maybe others serve you. Even sleeping is a form of doing something.
   Who are you grateful too, for giving you the ability to do those things that you do through out each day of your life? Are you grateful to those who help you? Are you grateful only when situations call for you to be thankful? For example finding out that the diagnosis was better than it could have been.
   What if I told you that God, as the all powerful creator of life, is the one who has given to you the life that you have? Would you challenge Him? For how could your mixed up life be a blessing from the almighty God?
   It is true. God is the creator of all life and it is up to you to take care of what He has given to you. It is when you are thankful to Him that He see's your gratitude. It is knowing His Son Jesus that can change the way you see life. God is there for everyone. He knows who will come to Him, wanting life with Him.
   Christians will encourage you to come to God and the bible speaks of the peaceful life that available to all people through Jesus. So why fight the challenges of everyday life? Start off your day by waking up and thanking Him for the rest and sleep that He gave to you. Then throughout your day thank Him for the food you receive and for the ability to do the things you do. Then watch as your life is filled with patience and the thoughts of a child doing the things that please their Father.
   Love for God, love for Jesus becomes the love for all that you are and that same love extends to all people who you interact with. A life with God means you are content in living with Him. No longer counting on yourself to make the right decisions but living with God. Trusting in Him and walking with Jesus. Following His teachings and being thankful to Him for His guidance and His love in your life.
  Thank you Father for hearing our prayers. Thank you for Jesus and the paths we walk upon today.😊

Colossians chapter 3 verse 23.
Work hard and cheerfully at all you do, just as though you were working for the Lord and not merely for your masters, remembering that it is the Lord Christ who is going to pay you, giving you your full portion of all He owns. He is the one you are really working for."

Zephaniah chapter 3 verse 2.
"In her pride she won't listen even to the voice of God. No one can tell her anything; she refuses all correction. She does not trust the Lord, nor seek for God." 

1 Samuel chapter 16 verse 7.
The Lord said to Samuel, "Don't judge by a mans face or height, for this is not the one. I don't make decisions the way you do! Men judge by outward appearance, but I look at a man's thoughts and intentions."
