A thankful
heart is a cheerful heart. A thankful
heart is closest to the riches of the universe. A thankful heart is free from
the bondage of anxiety, fear and apprehension of life. Show me a cheerful man;
l will tell you story of a man free of captivity of deadly diseases. The act of
thanksgiving opens the window of heaven for abundant blessing from above. It
lifts up our burdens; it takes away sorrowful heart in exchange for joyful
heart.
Jesus Christ laid down precedent to follow. He demonstrated a thankful
heart in all His deeds. Jesus Christ gave thanks over five barley loaves and
two small fish; five thousand people excluding women and children were well
fed. Twelve baskets filled up with the fragments of the five barley loaves were
gathered John6:11-13. Jesus Christ gave thanks at the tomb of Lazarus, the dead
rose up at His command. Apostle Paul also admonishes us in Philippian 4:6 that
we should make our requests known to God through praise and thanksgiving.
No matter how difficult or hopeless a situation may be, if you can just
put all the anxieties aside and confront it with thanksgiving, you will be
amazed at the supernatural intervention that will follow. A thankful heart is
the key to the heart of God; always give thanks.
