Gratitude

From: Powerpoint Daily Devotions

Ephesians 5:20 "Give thanks to God the Father always and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Life tastes better when you say thanks. Psychologists have discovered that the healthiest emotion of all is the emotion of thanksgiving and gratitude. Hans Selye, who is noted as the father of stress studies said, "Gratitude produces more positive emotional energy than any other attitude in your life."

Gratitude will create joy in your life. It counteracts all of those damaging and destructive emotions that come your way. It’s the antidote for negative emotions like worry, anxiety, and fear because it is impossible to stay negative when you’re rejoicing and thanking God.

So live your life with an attitude of gratitude to God for all of His abundant blessings. When you do that, you’ll discover that the worries and stresses of this world will grow dimmer as God’s light shines in your life.
