Too often we take for granted the satisfaction that comes from having more than enough. The ease in which things come cause us at times to overlook what God has put in place. For example, how often do you neglect to verbalize your appreciation for the acts kindness given to you? Do you acknowledge God for the two freezers fill with food? How about those wonderful kids and grand kids that carry your likeness? We love for things to go good all the time and get disgust when things don’t work the way they should. How about being grateful for being able to experience the good and the bad and the ability to know the difference?
What is a heart of gratitude?
A heart of gratitude is a feeling of appreciation flowing from place where emotions are generate. It is the joy and gladness coming from within that stimulates a positive attitude. It is seen in what we do and how we do it. The heart of gratitude is a force flowing from the heart designed to keep us on top of our circumstances, connected in our relations, dedicated in our service, protected from our enemies and in the right relation with God.
A heart of gratitude is evidence that the heart recognizes the hand of God in what is experienced. This type of heart prevents advancement of enemies by guarding who or what is allowed to influence your balance. We know what happens when you loose your balance right? You fall. A heart of gratitude is what we must show for all the great things God has freely provided. It is hard to make a stand without it.
