Apostle Paul, in today’s memory verse, reminds us that gratitude is not a temporary feeling; rather, it is a deliberate choice that we make. Gratitude shows that a fellow trusts in God’s plans for his or her life, even in trying times. You can choose to be grateful because you know that God is always with you, working all things together for your good. In today’s Bible reading, we see that gratitude flows from a deep connection with Christ, being rooted in His love and strength. When we are filled with thanksgiving, it is a sign that we have an intimate relationship with our Lord, and His grace is at work in us.

My dear child, strive to be rooted in your relationship with Christ so that your life can be filled with gratitude to God always. Is your gratitude dependent on circumstances?

REFLECTION
Is your gratitude dependent on circumstances?

    Praise the Lord, for He is kind;
    For His mercies shall endure

    For of gods He is the God;

    Filled the new-made world with light;
    For His mercies shall endure,

    His full hand supplies their need;
    For His mercies shall endure,
    Ever faithful, ever sure.

    In the wasteful wilderness;
    For His mercies shall endure,
    Ever faithful, ever sure.
  6. He hath with a pious eye
    Looked upon our misery;
    For His mercies shall endure,
    Ever faithful, ever sure.
  7. Let us with gladsome mind
    Praise the Lord, for He is kind;
    For His mercies shall endure,
    ever faithful, ever sure.
