Did you give thanks today? What kind of
thankfulness that you offer toward God? The person who always is grateful gets
peace in daily life though he or she deals with so many challenges.
Every day is a blessing. From waking up until sleeping
at night, we experience many things. Through experience, God is working in us.
His grace is often not visible. Nevertheless, we can feel. Only those who are
grateful can recognize it.
As a Christian, God asks us to be grateful all the
time. Jesus can be an example for us. Saint Luke shows us that Jesus is a
person who knows how to be thankful. He prayed, “I thank you, Father, Lord of
heaven and earth...". By this prayer, Jesus realized that His life had
come from God. Only God was a source of His strength. Jesus knew to whom He
addressed His gratitude.
By being a grateful person, we do not lack anything, on the contrary, we become rich. Richness is not about we have a luxurious house, car, much money, but faith, hope, and love. And there is no one who can rob these things if we have Jesus in our heart. Let us pray to God, may we always become a grateful person and become rich in the name of Jesus.
