Gratitude
“In
everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to
you-ward.
(I
Thessalonika 5 : 18)”
Have you ever experience
something that really bad in your life, something that made you lose your calm
? have you ? Of course we often experienced something like that, something that
make us lose our calm, me too, I experience something like that several times,
when bad things happened, and when people badmouth me without I know why, even
when I experience a humiliated failure, sometimes the verse was really hard to
apply in that situation. But the thing is, it said, giving thanks is the will
of God, so I realize when I give thanks, I do God’s will, and I belive when I
do His will, I am making Him happy, right.
So, this gratitude thing, is
God’s will, He wants us to give thanks in everything, don’t care what is the
situation we are in, He simply wants us to give thanks, even it’s hard, even it
needs tears just to say, thanks God, just to say thank you God. Why, because He
wants us to trust Him, He wants us to trust His plan for us, if something bad
happen to us right now, it means, we are prepared for something bigger and
magnificient, just keep your trust in Him, give thanks to Him, trus His heart,
because He knows what He is doing in our life. Amen.
