Greetings to all; on this 'grateful' Thursday, let us joyfully thank God for all blessings, feeling uplifted by the act of gratitude.
Reflecting on God's goodness sets the tone for our giving. It is crucial to remember that we have the power to set boundaries in our giving. This empowering realization allows us not to let others, who may be only takers, exploit our generosity and make us feel obligated to give to them.
Psalm 116:12–14 (MSG)
12 What can I give back to GOD for the blessings he's poured out on me?
13 will lift the cup of salvation—a toast to GOD! I will pray in the name of GOD;
14 I will complete what I promised GOD I would do and do it with his people.
Lesson: The very essence of our existence is to give thanks to the Lord for all His benefits. This act of gratitude not only acknowledges His blessings but also deepens our relationship with Him.
