Just me trying to be honest with God.

Gratitude fine tunes our appreciation of God’s goodness and glory.

What shall I render to the LORD for all his benefits to me? Ps.116
There is no way to measure God’s value to those who trust Him, but we experience more of it every time we give thanks to Him for something. We should not fall into the guilt trap of trying to repay God for His goodness. That is not the kind of relationship He wants with us. The best way to express thanks to God, beyond saying so, is to take what He gives and use it. We know a child appreciates the gift of a bicycle when they ride it. The best way to give thanks for Jesus is to accept Him into our heart. Conversations Within ts 11/19/2012 (Jax, FL)
