2. Forgive. We've all been wronged. Identify any grudges you've been harboring and forgive the people involved.

We experience a genuine appreciation for what God has done in us and through us, we recognize that we're undeserving recipients of God's grace and mercy, and we live in a state of continual wonder at everything we've been given. Such an attitude of praise and gratitude compels us not only to serve God, but also to serve one another."
