We carry with us ALL sorts of attitudes. Attitudes matter. They influence how we see the world and how we engage with it. QUICK-Can you name five things you are grateful for?"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."-1 Thessalonians 5:16-18GRATITUDE is a MUST...it's part of God's will for you.TRUTH: More GRATITUDE isn't generated from more acquistions; rather more from the AWARENESS of God's presence and goodness. James 1:17, Luke 17:11-17God's love is always reaching beyond...AND God desires our love to REACH BACK.God is interested in a relational connection with us, not just religious COMPLIANCE by us."Gratitude is an offering precious in the sight of God, and it is one that the poorest of us can make and be richer for having made it."-A.W. TozerBottom Line: GRATITUDE is fuel for an active and GROWING FAITH with Jesus.Gratitude grows best within a posture of HUMILTY.The bigger our sense of ENTITLEMENT is, the smaller our sense of GRATITUDE.APPLICATION: Write a THANK YOU note to GOD this week. (Take 10 minutes to grow your gratitude.) Read Psalm 100.
