As a child of the King, I am so grateful for new life in Christ! The Lord has saved me and I did not even realize I needed to be saved or rescued. But, He restored me and is making me whole. He looked down on this lost lamb and claimed me for His very own.
I am thankful that I have a Father who has given me more than stuff, He has given me life which He promises in abundance! And on most days I feel full to overflowing with His love.
I am most thankful to have free access to my Father and whenever there is a need He is there to help me. He even lets me share Him with those who do not know who He is.
Psalm 95:1-6 "Oh come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. For the Lord is the great God, And the great King above all gods. In His hand are the deep places of the earth; The heights of the hills are His also. The sea is His, for He made it; And His hands formed the dry land. Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker."
Not only has God given me life and in abundance but he has given me love and people to share that with, family, friends and even strangers who need to see God's love in action.
You see like King David said, " I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!" Psalm 27:13,14
I can be thankful for all kinds of stuff for I have so much but I am most thankful for the sacrifice of Christ which made a way for me to know God as my Father, Provider, Redeemer, Peace, Healer...stuff is temporal but this life in Christ is eternal!
Happy Thanksgiving
