As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Colossians 2:6,7
Are you overflowing with thankfulness? Is your
thankfulness spilling out on to the people around you?
Don't just think your thanks, show it! Don't let the
kindness of others go unnoticed. Sometimes it's easy
to take for granted the people who are closest to us,
but those are the people we should thank the most.
Your family, your friends, the ones who love and
support you are the ones who should feel your
thankfulness the most. And notice this verse says to
live in Christ and be built up in Him. When you build
yourself up by studying the Word and praying in the
Spirit, then the second part of the verse will just
come naturally—you will be strengthened in your faith,
and your heart will be filled with thankfulness.
Take a step of faith today and begin to show your
thankfulness to those around you. Let it overflow on
to the people around you. Sow seeds of gratitude and
blessing. As you do, you will reap an abundant harvest
in return and live the life God has planned for you
today!
