"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you"
1 Thess 5:18
1 Thess 5:18
By Karen Young
When your heart is full of gratitude, you're one with God. You want to contribute, serve, share, and make a difference.
Expressing gratitude is known to be an excellent deterrent to depression and anxiety.
God tells us to be thankful: "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you" (1 Thess 5:18). It's God's will for us.
Gratitude to God for what He's given us reminds us of who He is:
When I focus on God's blessings, even the littlest thing (something as small as noticing a bee on a flower), it lifts my eyes to Him, puts my focus back on Him, and reminds me of His love and care for me.
