About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"GIVING GOD THE THANKS HE DESERVES" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
GIVING GOD THE THANKS HE DESERVES
DO YOU EVER JUST SIT DOWN AND THINK HOW BLESSED YOU ARE? WE JUST NEED TO DO THIS ONCE IN A WHILE TO REALLY REALIZE THE MANY THINGS WE TAKE FOR GRANTED THAT WE SHOULD BE THANKING GOD FOR. THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS HE DOES THAT WE DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT. I LIKE WHAT 1ST THESSALONIANS 5:23 SAYS "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." I LOOKED UP THE WORD "SANCTIFY" AND THE FIRST DEFINITION IS "To set apart for sacred use". THIS IS ONE OF THOSE "FOR GRANTED" THING THAT WE NEVER THINK ABOUT AND SHOULD BE THANKING GOD FOR. ARE YOU READY TO BE USED?
GIVING THANKS TO GOD IS A CHOICE. WE CAN EITHER APPRECIATE WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR US AND GIVE HIM THANKS OR WE CAN BLAME HIM FOR WHAT SATAN HAS PUT ON US BECAUSE OF OUR OWN UNBELIEF. ONE THING IS HEALING. SOMETIMES WE THINK THAT GOD SHOULD JUST HEAL US BUT HE TELLS US IN HIS WORD FOR US TO DO IT. (MATTHEW 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.) IT IS OUR UNBELIEF THAT STOPS US FROM EVEN TRYING THIS. IF WE WOULD JUST REMEMBER THAT THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WHEN WE PRAY, BELIEVE WE HAVE RECEIVED AND WE SHALL HAVE IT. HOWEVER, WHAT DO WE DO? WE JUST KEEP PRAYING OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR GOD TO HEAL US AND THAT IS NOT BELIEVING THAT YOU ARE HEALED. WE SHOULD BE THANKING GOD OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR THAT HEALING.
GIVING THANKS TO GOD IS A TOTALLY UNSELFISH ACT AND A KEY TO A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. THAT MAKES US WHOLE AND NOT JUST HEALED. I DO BELIEVE IN MIRACLES AND THAT GOD DOES HEAL US SOMETIMES DESPITE OF OUR UNBELIEF TO PROVE TO US THAT HE IS WILLING AND ABLE TO MEET OUR EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL NEEDS AS WELL. HE IS A GOOD AND LOVING FATHER AND IS DESERVING TO BE THANKED AND PRAISED ALL THE TIME..
DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN JESUS HEALED THE TEN LEPERS IN SAMARIA? (LUKE 17:11-19) HE TOLD THEM TO GO AND SHOW THEMSELVES TO THE PRIEST AND THEY WERE HEALED AS THEY WERE ON THEIR WAY. OF THE TEN, ONLY ONE, WHEN HE SAW HE WAS HEALED, TURNED BACK AND THANKED JESUS. DON'T YOU KNOW THIS MADE JESUS FEEL GOOD. DOESN'T IT MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD TO BE APPRECIATED? LET'S THANK JESUS EVERY DAY FOR ALL OF OUR BLESSINGS AND FOR BEING OUR SAVIOR.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
