Dear One,
Thank you. Thank you for being grateful in all things. Thank you for singing praises to Me when circumstances are good and when reality doesn't yet line up with what I've spoken to you.
Being thankful is a posture of the heart. Do you wonder why My heart's desire is for you to come into my Presence with thankfulness and praise? Thankfulness and praise attune your heart to Mine. Your eyes are on Me and you see yourself reflected in My eyes of love. Your focus is on the Author and Finisher of your faith.
Being thankful is a mindset. Being grateful for the now blessings and those yet not seen. When you are thankful for an answer before it is yet to be, your faith expands for you to receive. Daily thankfulness leads you onto a path of peace and quiets the voice of anxiousness. Thankfulness, dear one, draws you near to Me.
As you lift up your face in thankfulness, know that I too am thankful. I'm thankful for you.
Your Heavenly Father, God
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting, and his truth endureth to all generations. Psalm 100:4-5
I will praise God’s name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving. Psalm 69:30
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Colossians 3:15
