Why does God continually remind us to be thankful? 

 A thankful heart is full of praise, which ushers us into His presence. 

 A thankful heart blesses the Father’s heart. 

 A thankful heart is a soft, pliable heart that God can mold to
His image. 

 A thankful heart is a joyous heart that strengthens us spiritually. 

 A thankful heart remembers His faithfulness in the past 

thereby feeding our faith to trust Him for our future. 

 A thankful heart will be a good steward of blessings. 

Dear Child,
If you appreciated all My blessings in your life, your heart would overflow with joy! Giving thanks causes you to be reminded of what you are thankful for and this gives you a fresh appreciation. If you are thankful for My blessings, you will enjoy them, if you take them for granted they will not give you joy, for they will be put on the shelf for another day like a discarded gift. Enjoy life, it’s My greatest gift, when you enjoy life you have a thankful heart, and a thankful heart is pleasing in My sight.
Thus saith Papa. 

CHALLENGE: Have the moths of discontentment, complaining and lack of appreciation eaten away holes in your garment of praise, leaving it thread bare, and robbing your life of joy?
