Be Grateful

To be grateful means to be appreciative for what one has or possess. To be grateful goes beyond physical possession but rather a totality of one's life and living.

At times we as humans get to complain so much about the things we don't have and forgetting to show thanks for the things we have. We are not grateful for the things God freely gave us, forgetting that what we have is what others are crying to get.

I heard the story of a man that went to a pastor for prayers and he told the pastors many things that are not working in his life; business, his family etc.
The pastor brought out a paper and pen and began to ask him many questions and he was to either write yes or no

The pastor began to ask;

  • Is your eyes working?
  • Can you hear ?
  • Can you walk?
  • Can you urinate ?
  • Have you eaten today?

All his answers to the questions that pastor asked him was yes. So the pastor asked him to kneel down that all the things that have being working in his life will stop working while those that have not being working will then start to work. The man shouted no! And the pastor told him that he is very ungrateful to God.

Are we not like the man in the above story? We complain of the too many things that have not being working in our lives and we forget so easily that to have mouth and having what to eat is a miracle. We forget that seeing is not by one's ability but God's help.

So my friend you must be grateful to God even for the things that are not working because All things will work for your good if you love the Lord
