I am Thankful

15 04 2016

Praise the Lord! Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. Psalms 106:1 

I am thankful for the blessing of this day.  Today, I start anew with a fresh vision of what is possible.  I have faith that God is perfecting everything that concerns me; my life and the lives of those I love.  He is full of grace and mercy that is extended to me and to all of His children.  I approach today with an open heart to God’s will for my life.  My plans are yielded to God’s plans.  My aspirations are second to God’s plans for me.  He is my Creator and knows the plans of peace that will fulfill my destiny.  I am thankful.  Today, I start anew with a fresh vision of what is possible.  I am thankful.

For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

My heart is full of thanksgiving for the Savior. Jesus gave His life that I might live whole and free.  The gift of salvation is a blessing beyond measure.  It is humbling and fills my heart with gratitude when I think of His love and sacrifice for me and everyone in this world.  He came to give us an abundant life and the ability to walk with our Creator and Heavenly Father.  I give thanks today for this Gift of love, as we reflect on His sacrifice on the cross for each of us.  His sacrifice made my salvation possible and I am thankful.

Thankful for His Love

10 03 2016

Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;  Ephesians 5:20

We can be thankful for each new day. With the rising of the sun, we experience God’s grace and mercy that is stretched out from our past and into our future.  That fact alone fills my heart with gratitude.  Nothing I have done or could ever do would merit such blessing for my life.  It is evidence of the Lord’s unconditional love for me.  This love is for everyone who will open their hearts to Him and receive His love as their own.  Jesus loves us.  He gave His life for us and we can be thankful for this blessing.

For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.  John 3:16

The Lord has created this day for me.  My heart is full of gratitude for His goodness and His love that has brought me to this time and space.  I could not deserve His faithfulness to me, so I am humbled by His grace and love that encase my life.  I am thankful for the big and small things that make my life possible.  His plans for me are full of hope.  I am thankful for the here and now and confidently trusting Him for what lies ahead.

For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster to give you a future and a hope.  Jeremiah 29:11 AMP

From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another.  John 1:16

I am thankful that good things flow from our Heavenly Father. His blessings are evident all around us.  The blessing of life health and strength empower my days.  His love is wrapped around my soul this morning and I am thankful.  He provided peace in my mind despite the imperfection of my situations.  He fueled my faith, just reflecting on His continued flawless faithfulness to me.  God is good and His blessings are flowing.  I welcome his love, peace and joy into my life.  With thanksgiving, I embrace His goodness and blessings that are flowing in my life.  Today I can move forward in my purpose as the blessings flow.

Thankful for His Peace

16 02 2016

May God, the source of hope, fill you with all joy and peace by means of your faith in him, so that your hope will continue to grow by the power of the Holy Spirit.  Romans 15:13 GNT

So many people are in search of peace. They are looking to achieve even a short time of being, that is absent the worry and anxiety that the world has to offer. They seek it in a lot of places and things. You can see the earnest effort being made throughout our society. We are so blessed today that God is our source of not only peace but our hope and joy. Our heavenly Father is faithful to provide the fruits of His Spirit as we put our trust in Him. He provides daily peace and even in the middle of the storm and in the difficult situations. His peace surpasses all understanding.

What a blessing it is to experience His peace. My prayer today and in the days to come is that God’s peace will abide in our hearts and minds. And that peace will be evident to those around us so that we can be an effective witness of blessed living through His son Jesus Christ.
