As you sit quietly in My Presence, let Me fill your heart and mind with thankfulness.
This is the most direct way to achieve a thankful stance.
If your mind needs a focal point, gaze at My Love poured out for you at the cross.
Remember that nothing in heaven or earth can separate you from that Love (Romans 8:38-39).
This remembrance builds a foundation of gratitude in you, a foundation that circumstances cannot shake.
As you go through this day, look for tiny treasures strategically placed along the way.
I lovingly go before you and plant little pleasures to brighten your day.
Look carefully for them, and pluck them one by one.
When you reach the end of the day, you will have gathered a lovely bouquet.
Offer it up to me with a grateful heart.
Receive My peace as you lie down to sleep, with thankful thoughts playing a lullaby in your mind.
You have filled my heart with greater joy than when grain and new wine abound.
I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
-- Psalm 4:7-8
From Sarah Young, Jesus Calling
