Colossians 3:16 "Let the Word of Christ dwell among you richly as you share with one another all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts."
It is easy to get caught up in busy living and forget to thank those who gave us a chance to develop our gifts for God’s glory. Have you gone back and blessed the teacher/mentor/coach who inspired your career? When was the last time you looked your parents, or any relative, or friend, in the eyes and explained how their example of consistent character caused you to follow hard after Christ? True thanksgiving takes time to say thank you!
Furthermore, it is praise and thanksgiving to God that is the pinnacle of gratitude. Your gratitude to God generates generosity and bubbles up joy in your heart. Your marriage of humility and thanksgiving invites a dinner reception that feasts on contentment, peace, hope, happiness and security.
Open wide your mouth with words of thanksgiving and watch the Lord do wonderful works around you. The more you grow in the grace of God, the more thankful you become. Gratitude always speaks up!
