💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: GOD HAS GIVEN HUMANITY THE GREATEST GIFT EVER: ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH CHRIST JESUS – and some, believe it or not, have taken that wonderful generosity for granted once they become born-again, they tend to forget God now that they are no longer Hell-bound! So, let me ask you, have you or are you taking God for granted? Many Christians who truly love God at times forget to give Him thanks for all that He has done for us and is continuing daily to give us what we need (see Matthew 6:25-26). In all things, we must remember always to give God all the glory and all the praise through Christ by living in a way that shows appreciation for our salvation!

Don’t take God for granted! Don’t become too familiar with Him and get so used to His blessings and works that you don’t thank Him. Give thanks to God. He deserves it. Show Him appreciation by how you live: holy and sanctified in Christ!

Life’s hustle and bustle often clouds our vision. We forget to appreciate the blessings showered upon us daily. The Bible, however, urges us to not take things for granted. It constantly reminds us of God’s love and generosity that we should be thankful for.

Every sunrise is a gift from above, yet it’s easy to overlook its beauty in the rush of everyday life. Psalms 118:24 teaches us to “rejoice and be glad” in each day because it’s created by God himself. How many times have we woken up with dread instead of gratitude?

The parable of talents (Matthew 25:14–30) shows the importance of cherishing what we’ve been given. The servant who buried his talent was reprimanded harshly while those who increased theirs were rewarded generously.

It’s human nature to focus on what’s missing rather than cherish what’s present. But Philippians 4:12 advises us otherwise – Paul found contentment in every situation, whether he was living in abundance or scarcity.

Here are some tips from Bible verses for leading a more grateful life:

--Be joyful always: Thessalonians 5:16 reminds us that joy isn’t dependent on external circumstances.

--Pray continuously: Prayer connects us with God allowing appreciation for His blessings (Thessalonians 5:17).

--Give thanks in all circumstances: Gratitude aligns our perspective with God’s (Thessalonians 5:18).

So let’s strive to live mindfully as Christians, appreciating every blessing – big or small – bestowed upon us by Our Heavenly Father! Let this conclusion serve as an encouraging nudge towards a more mindful Christian life where nothing is taken for granted, but appreciated deeply!

Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!
