Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Thank You for drinking it and for sharing it
with others!
“THANK YOU”
is such a simple thing to say, but those two words are a powerful tool in
bringing joy to someone’s heart! Everyone likes to be appreciated; but not all
of us remember to express our appreciation.
“As we seek to nurture joy in others, we can help it bloom by thanking
them for their service and their efforts.” (Kay Warren)
Can you
think of a Bible character who exemplified gratitude? Paul is the one who immediately comes to my
mind. In every letter that he wrote he
included words of gratitude. We find:
·
“I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,”
in Philippians.
·
In 1 Corinthians he wrote, “I thank my God at all times for
you because of the grace of God which was bestowed on you in Christ Jesus.”
·
In Colossians he says: “We continually give thanks to
God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, as we are praying for you.”
These are just a few of the verses where Paul expresses thanks
to God. And that’s the important key! Paul had a grateful heart because He knew
that all His blessing came from God. He
was appreciative of WHO God is and the relationship he shared with Him.
Do you
recognize the countless blessings in your life? We ALL have much more for which
to be thankful than we do things to complain about!
Today, I am thanking God for YOU! I’m extremely grateful
for the opportunities to share His JOY and I encourage you to keep passing that
JOY along to others!
