I am trying too hard to
BE THANKFUL
as I am waiting for a wave of emotions
to take over my being
so that I can scream from the mountaintops
THANK YOU GOD!
But right now
there are no emotions
as I am at a standstill
even though
I know Who I know.
I know What I believe.
I know that I am so very
THANKFUL~
but just don't feel it.
Am I waiting for something to happen?
Am i waiting for something to change,
so that I can scream
THANK YOU GOD
or
is the time right now
because
GOD has gone beyond my wildest dreams.
GOD has given me what I don't deserve.
GOD has picked me up when I have fallen down.
GOD has always forgiven me.
GOD has guarded my heart with His Peace that has transcended my understanding.
GOD has brought people into my life to encourage me with His Word.
GOD has never left me, even when I have walked away.
GOD has swooped me up and taken me into His arms when no one was around
because
GOD IS GOD
and that never changes~
.even though my circumstances and feelings do.
What a wake up call
as I am trying way too hard to have an
Attitude of Gratitude
when
GRATITUDE~
which is
THANKFULNESS
is a deep expression, a reciprocal appreciation for kindness received~
Not for anything that I have done or will do,
but for
who
GOD IS~
Always.
Therefore,
I say & You say
THANK YOU GOD~
"The faithful love of the Lord never ends! HIS mercies never cease. Great is HIS faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself,
'The LORD is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in HIM!”'
Lamentations 3:22-24
From Ordinary to Extraordinary
because
HE IS GOD!
