It is important for us to always have a heart of gratitude and thanksgiving toward God for everything He has done for us. When we are thankful to God, His blessings in our lives remain because He is pleased with us.
As we approach the season of Thanksgiving, let us remember all the blessings that God has bestowed upon us throughout the year and come before Him with a heart full of gratitude.
We should be thankful to God and bless Him with all that is within us—heart, spirit, soul, and body—forgetting none of the benefits that we have received from the Lord. He has forgiven all our sins. In so many ways we have fallen short, yet because of His love and kindness, He continues to forgive us.
His healing has rested upon our lives, for He alone heals all our diseases and redeems our lives from destruction. Many times this year we may have faced sickness or situations that could have harmed us, but God in His mercy has delivered and healed us.
