BE THANKFUL

"The things you take for granted, someone else is praying for." - Unknown

Wow! 362 days have breezed by already, yet it seemed like it was only yesterday we hugged each other gleefully, and yelled "Happy New Year," at the top of our voices to one another - how time flies. 

Are you already counting your loses, achievements or are you unable to find anything to count? I'm aware it's less than three days to the end of 2018, but I need you to know that God isn't constrained by time.

He's The Almighty God, His tenure isn't about to end with the year, no way. He's waiting to accomplish His purpose for your life. The past eleven months of 2018, might not have been your best so far, but who says the remaining days can't make up for your past loses - just be thankful.

It's easy to be thankful for the 'good' things only, yet a life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are thankful for the setbacks. Gratitude can turn a very negative situation into a positive one. 

Find a way to be thankful even in your troubles -they're potential blessings - God's still able to give you a 360 degrees change of story in three days, yes He can.

Beloved, be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, there'd be nothing to look forward to? Be thankful for the difficult times; it's during those times you grew.

Be thankful for those limitations; they gave you opportunities for improvement. Be thankful for those challenges; they built your strength and character. Be thankful for the mistakes; they taught you valuable lessons. 

Thank God even for the ugly situations.

WISDOM NUGGET:  Job 13:15 "...yet will I trust in him..." - KJV

Let us pray: Father, I trust you still, in Jesus name.
