I'm Grateful

Today was a day to reflect on the goodness of the Lord.  Yes, we are living in a world that does have many troubles, but I chose today to look at the goodness of the Lord and I received many blessings. 

First, I was able to get up, freely go where I wanted without being worried that I would be stopped and questioned as some are in other countries.  I was able to have coffee with a precious group of ladies who love the Lord and together we shared the love of the Lord  and read our devotion in the open together. 

Then on the internet I saw where a precious man of God in Iran was set free against all odds, But God!  I sent a letter to a young man serving in the Marines, and holding bible studies on his ship.  He asked for prayer for some of his shipmates who were discouraged....we can do that with a grateful and loving heart.  They are doing what few have chosen to do, without any complaints, just asking for prayer and encouragement.  Remember them in your prayers...that is the least we can do. 

So  never count out the power and love of our Lord.  The impossible with others is NOT impossible with our God.  It is a matter of constant prayer; desire to please Him not for your gain, but just because He is an awesome and loving God who is always with us and always watches over us.  That in itself may make some of you stop and think about what you do when you think no one is watching....Jesus is always watching.  Not to condemn but just because He loves you.  So be grateful, that you are loved so much that nothing you do will make Jesus love you anymore, or any less. 

I will go to bed grateful and in the morning as the sun rises I will choose whether I am going to be grateful or not.  What will it be for you?

 
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
I Thessalonians 5:18 (ESV)
 
Enjoy life, it's a free gift...eternal life is also free, but it's a decision you personally must make.     John 3:16
