Meditations on "Gratitude"

When we put our hope and trust in the unfailing love of God, we become His precious children, and our Heavenly Father rejoices over us.

What a blessing when we could finally say to God, “Take my will and my life and make them conform to the plans You have for me.” 

The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love (Psalm 103:8)

When we put our hand into the hand of God, He will strengthen and support us as we become willing to make amends to those we have harmed. 

Each of us knows deep down inside us that there must be a God for we are unable to cope with life on our own.

The great faith that we need to develop is to trust that “when the time is right” God’s help will be there for us.

We are created to serve God and bring joy and blessing to others. 

God promises to show us the way forward.

Strength comes as we learn to give thanks to God, who is good, and whose love is available to us 24/7.

In difficult times, rather that running from God, we need to draw closer to Him and let His unfailing love ease the pain we are feeling. 

There is hope for each of us to leave the past behind and move forward to become the person we were created to be.

Our restored self-worth is not based on what we may feel or what others say about us, but rather on what God says.
