Being Thankful and Grateful are important in order for us to receive greater things. Man can never be satisfied but he can be contented..
“Give Thanks with a Grateful Heart…”
The phrase was popularized by a song written by Don Moen. Thank You – the 2 words that are powerful when said with a Grateful Heart. But how to have a Grateful Heart? How one can have it? Can it be earn? What are the reasons for it to activate in you? Second is: are we grateful?
When you meet a lot of people and say how are they doing the answer may be: “Well things are not doing good for me.”. Other might say “Life is so cruel”. But why? The answer is UNGRATEFULNESS. UNGRATEFULNESS can lead to DEPRESSION. When people are UNGRATEFUL they tend to think many negative things and it starts to build up and BOOM!!! The person is now depressed. But, there is now what we call GRATEFULNESS. GRATEFULNESS – The state of being grateful or warmly or deeply appreciative of kindness or benefits received; thankful. Being GRATEFUL is Being THANKFUL. THANKING with a GRATEFUL HEART. What people don’t think is that we have a lot of things to be THANKFUL and GRATEFUL about. First is we have Life. Yes it may not be luxurious but we are alive. We may not have the finest food but we can eat Food. Our house may not be that big or awesome but we still have a roof to shelter us. Our money may not be a lot but we have money to buy what we need. So if I list all the things to be grateful about it will fill this whole article and yet we don’t see these. That is why the things we desire most don’t come to us because of being UNGRATEFUL. Yes it is true that Man can never be SATISFIED but we can be CONTENT. Thinking of all the things that you have right now can already put a spark on your GRATEFUL HEART and BE THANKFUL. It is good to desire everything because we are programmed to do so but these things will only come when we GIVE THANKS and BE GRATEFUL.
So start by BEING THANKFUL and GRATEFUL of what you have and later you will notice that the things you don’t have will soon come.
Have a Great Day!!!
