Joyfully Giving Thanks

 

 

 

For this reason, since the day we heard it, we have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may lead lives worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, as you bear fruit in every good work and as you grow in the knowledge of God. May you be made strong with all the strength that comes from his glorious power, and may you be prepared to endure everything with patience, while joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

 

Colossians 1:9-14

 

Thankfulness seems to be a lost art today. However, take time often to recall how God rescued us from eternal death. Take the time to remember that He has given us eternal life through His Son. Make sure that you never forget how to say thank you to Our Father.

 

With practice,

 anyone can master the art

 of thankfulness.
