The Therapy of Thanksgiving

We cannot always control our circumstances, but we can control the way we respond to them. Respond with thanksgiving.

Our weakness and fears will not stop God from calling us to serve Him. Our weaknesses don’t matter, because God is sending us out in His unfailing strength. And, our fears are of no concern, because He has given us all we need to triumph over the adversities we will face. The only thing that does matter is our OBEDIENCE! How will we respond to God’s call?

God knew you BEFORE you knew yourself | God Chose you BEFORE you chose Him!

We are ALL chosen by God to do SPECIFIC work here on earth. God laid out a unique plan for each one of us before we were born.

Start thanking God for every good thing you can think of for which you are grateful until you discover, in the presence of God, that the good stuff outweighs the bad stuff and things are not as bad as you thought they were.

Our afflictions are designed not to break us, but to bend us toward God.

God calls on those who are humble enough to recognize their complete insufficiency and hopelessness without His sustaining power… God wants to use you, BECAUSE you know you are not good enough!

How do you see things?

Jesus taught that if our eye, or the way we see things, is healthy, then our life can be filled with happiness. But if the way we see things, if our outlook or mindset is messed up, there is no end to how dark our life can be.

If we humble ourselves to God, we will enjoy success (as God defines it) in this earthly life and in eternity; and we will avoid the fires of judgment. Don’t force God to show you who is King: serve Him and be fireproof; challenge Him and you will get fire proof.
