Effects of the gratitude change what we feel inside us and change our surroundings!
1 Chronicles 29:11.
“Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O Lord, and this is your kingdom. We adore you as the one who is over all things.”
When we have gratitude in our heart towards God, it eliminates all kinds of negative feelings. Gratitude to God is rooted in the realization of who God is and what He has done for us. “And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19) Gratitude to God is one of the greatest secrets to living the Christian life. Gratitude is transformational because it is God-focused and the concerns of this world dissipated when we focus our minds in gratitude to the Lord. Jesus promised us: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” (Matthew 5:8) No matter where we are in life. No matter what our situation or circumstances may be, we have something that we can thank God for each and every day of our life, and we should always have an attitude of thanksgiving towards our Creator. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6) Gratitude understands what could have happened to us were it not for the grace of God.
