Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Choosing to be joyful and thankful is often not something that comes naturally-it’s something you have to work at it.
Most of us often tend to think that if only our circumstances changed, THEN we could be happy, or if we had more, THEN we would be thankful.... But as my preacher taught about once, what usually really ends up happening is that the more we get, the more we want, and the more DIScontent we actually become!
Instead, we must LOOK for things to be grateful for, and CHOOSE to be joyful regardless of our circumstances! And really, if we have Christ in us, and a true, real, growing relationship with Him, what more could we desire?
When God becomes our heart's desire, we can't help but be overflowing with joy and thankfulness, no matter what we may be going through.
