Good afternoon to the beloved Children of God
The message for today - Being Thankful !
I was talking with my best girlfriend this morning about her brother in the hospital, I said, April today is a day of being thankful for the breath of life. The breath of life is the created spirit that God gives all living creatures so they can live each day. Then, I said, that's the message for today. Get this, God tells us to give thanks and pray for everyone and our enemies this is pleasing to God. It's God's Will that we're still here today on earth, And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. So breath is life, and when life is breathed into the earthen vessel that is a human body, it comes alive. Wow, that's powerful and spiritual food for thought! In Matthew 5:44-45, But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.Now get this, believers and unbelievers, This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. In Colossians 3:15-17, Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Now, some people may need to read that again, we're called to peace and thankfulness. My question is how are you feeling today? The word of God tells us to give thanks everyday in all things. Come on people it's not about you, it's always about the True Living God that we serve, He Is Good and greatly to be praised ! Can you praise Him for starting your day? “Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!” The Good News today is God loves you and for that, you should be thankful. “Giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Do you know the song, Lord I just want to thank you, Lord I just want to thank you. You've been so good.................Lord I thank you for the sunshine. I thank you for the rain. I thank you for the peace in knowing, my trials don't come this day. And I thank you that someday soon, I got heaven to gain. I just want to thank you Lord. You saved my soul. Thank You and Amen !Lord, I thank you for your One and Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ. Lord, I thank you for your Living Word and Your Holy Spirit. Lord, I thank you for making ways . Lord, I'm so thankful for you always being with me and dwelling within me. Lord, I'm so grateful for another day. Lord, I'm so grateful for my family. Lord, I'm so grateful for my home,lights, water and food on my table. Lord, I'm so grateful for my friends always being there for me. Lord, I'm so grateful for you meeting all my needs and the needs for others. Lord, I'm so thankful for the opportunity to give or share with others. Lord, I am thankful for your grace and mercy, your love and salvation for your beloved children. Stay with me people are you thankful with the small things in your life ? In Luke 16:10,“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much." Therefore, the little things you have are there to prepare you for bigger things. The key is to trust God while possessing the little things and give thanks in everything. Let's think for a second, Lord you trust me with your Word right? Now, look at the way you show people God's Word in words and deeds ? Are you showing God's Love, unconditional love for others? Can you be thankful for anything and everything in your life that brings others joy, make them laugh, and make them smile? By definition, grateful is feeling or showing appreciation for something done or received. The definition of thankful is feeling pleased and relieved. So, both grateful and thankful are positive feelings. Amen ! In Philippians 4:6, Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Heavenly Father, may we always have an attitude of gratitude and contentment! May we always have a song of praise on our lips! May we always reflect on things in life to be thankful for! Thank You Lord for your Love. Amen !
Scriptures to Meditate on this week :
1 John 3:1-3,See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.
1 John 5:1-5,Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
