Title: Full Thanks
Contents
Bible Text: 1 Thessalonians 5:18
full thanks
“The wisest person in the world is a learner, and the happiest person in the world is a grateful person” is a saying from the Talmud. Those who live with gratitude are healthier and happier than anyone else. The human body is sensitive to emotions. Gratitude keeps you healthy because it has an even pulse, improves digestion, and makes you feel good. How happy a person is depends on the amount of gratitude he has. No one is happy without being grateful. If you want to be young, thank you. If you want to be happy, be grateful. If you want to live according to God's will, be thankful.
“In everything give thanks, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). It is God’s will to give thanks in everything. That is the joy of God. Full gratitude, how to do full gratitude?
thank you first
A full thanks is to be thankful first. In the old days, when performing a play in the countryside, a gong is struck before the curtain opens. When you hit the gong, the curtain opens. Thank you first, a beautiful scene unfolds. Jesus didn't say a prayer of thanks after feeding the 5,000 people, but he was able to feed 5,000 people by holding the five bowls of fish and praying first. If you give thanks first, you will be given instead of thanking you for giving.
“Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you also” (Matthew 6:33). The kingdom of God is not a kingdom of murmuring, but a kingdom of thanksgiving. God's will for us is that we live in gratitude.
A baby's mother's day doesn't have a single break. He says, “I would be grateful if I could avoid having to pay for a baby diaper.” After the child grows up, he says, “I would be grateful if I went to school and studied well.” “I would be grateful if I went to a good university” “I would be grateful if my daughter met a good groom and got married” “I would be grateful if I just pay off the bank loan I got to buy a house.” “I would be grateful if my son-in-law retired at the age of retirement and received a pension to live and if there is no problem.”
Would such a person die of gratitude before dying? Those who say thank you when there is no need to worry cannot be grateful for the rest of their lives. A person who beats back does not create a blessed life and a victorious life. You have to beat the drum first for the army to go out. You have to go out to win and come back.
Born to a single mother, Oprah Winfrey became a single mother when she was 14. Winfrey's baby died two weeks later. He ran away and threw himself on drugs. He weighed 107 kg.
It was after meeting my father who had changed through faith that this strange life came to an end. A born-again father gave his daughter a new world. I read and memorized the Bible every day. The Bible made him discover a sublime value in his soul. I have come to regard myself as a noble person rather than a scum. The books he read stimulated his intellectual curiosity. At the age of 19, she got a job at a broadcasting station and became the first black woman to be selected as a news anchor.
It was his father who made him a new man. The father made his daughter write a gratitude diary every day. “Thank you for being able to get out of bed comfortably today.” “Thank you for showing me the exceptionally dazzling and blue sky.” The motivating factor that made me start my life energetically every day was the habit of being grateful first. It was his grateful lifestyle that made him a positive person. Gratitude is the fruit of great culture. There is no culture to be found in a mean person.
The power of gratitude is great. Confidence is the source of competitiveness. It is the driving force of success. First of all, gratitude is a great confidence. First of all, thank you, and I hope you will open the door to happiness and go on the road to success.
Always be thankful
Full gratitude is always gratitude. Is there something a person will always be grateful for? There is a saying, “Gratitude is the memory of the heart”. “Consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our doctrine” (Hebrews 13:1).
“Rejoice in the Lord always, again I say, rejoice” (Philippians 4:4). Even though I was in prison, I was grateful to be in the Lord and in the Lord.
It is said that the human heart beats about 100,000 times a day. The lungs breathe on their own, non-stop. Not because I consciously exhale or inhale. The lungs do it themselves. If there is a setback in this work, an abnormality will occur and life will stop. Even if I don't pay attention to each one, my heart is behind and my lungs are breathing. You breathe 23,000 times a day without rest.
It is said that not giving thanks is a sin. Psalm 136 is made up of verses 1 through 26. Thank you 26 times. If you read 26 words of gratitude every day, you will always be a grateful person.
We will read together. I'll read the first part and you'll read the back row.
1. Give thanks to the LORD/ His mercy endures forever.
2. Give thanks to God, who is superior among gods/ for his mercy endures forever.
3. Give thanks to the one who is superior among lords/ for his mercy endures forever.
4. Give thanks to him who alone does great wonders/ for his mercy endures forever.
5. Give thanks to him who in wisdom made the heavens, for his mercy endures forever.
8. Give thanks to him who rules the sun and the day, for his mercy endures forever.
13. Give thanks to him who parted the Red Sea, for his mercy endures forever.
23. Give thanks to him who remembered us in the midst of lowliness, for his mercy endures forever.
I read only 8 out of 26 verses. Thank you always. Miracles happen. Be healthy, work well, and be happy.
“When Daniel knew that the decree had been stamped with the king’s seal, he went back to his house, went up to the upper room, opened the window toward Jerusalem, and, as he had done before, three times a day he knelt down and prayed and gave thanks to his God” (Daniel 6:10). )
Daniel knew well that if he prayed, he would die. But he did not stop praying ‘as he did before’. Daniel was thrown into the lions' den, knowing that the king's command to die if he prayed was stamped with a fish seal, but he was thrown into the lions' den when he prayed, and he thanked God and was thrown into the lions' den. But God sent his angel to shut the lion's mouth. He did not let the lion hurt him.
Thank you. Pray and give thanks. Good things will happen! Always watch and pray, and always give thanks.
Thank you all
Perfect thanksgiving is giving thanks in everything. The universal is everything. I am grateful for all the conditions I have. There is something called shy syndrome. It is a sign of shyness and shyness. Why does Shay's Syndrome occur? Charles Darwin said that it comes from “self-attention”. That is, being conscious of what others will think of you.
There are five bald-headed thanks. First, thank God for receiving so much love. If God had stroked you, how would you have lost your hair like that? Second, I am grateful that there is no one who is bald and earns a living. Third, thank you for being like Elisha. Elisha was also bald. Fourth, I am thankful that I can save a lot of soap and shampoo. Fifth, give thanks for reducing the work of God a lot. It is said that God counts the hairs of those he loves (Matthew 10:30).
Golda Meyer, who became Israel's prime minister in 1967, said in her autobiography: “I appreciate my ugly face. I prayed and studied hard because I was ugly. My weakness helped the country. My despair became an opportunity to realize God’s calling.” He was Prime Minister for 12 years, but was secretly stricken with leukemia. Still, he assumed his position without telling anyone about it.
Confidence is inextricably linked with gratitude. When you lose your confidence, it gets harder and harder out of control. When the negative ego of “I can’t do it” rises up with his head raised, he becomes an incompetent person who cannot do anything.
Gratitude is a very ironic thing. Because people who should be really thankful are not grateful, and people who seem to have nothing are grateful for the little things. Life is a choice. do you deny it? do you admit it? If you deny me, the devil rejoices; if you acknowledge me, God is pleased.
The greatest curse and unhappiness for humans is ‘dryness’, which is not able to develop a grateful heart. It will run out of water. “Everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer” (1 Timothy 4:4-5). I hope that God will raise me up with the word and prayer.
“Come, all you who are thirsty, a good spring flows here. Even if you work hard and work hard, you will drink all of it when you come to this spring. Whoever drinks the water of the water of life will never become thirsty, but will spring from within and become living water, springing up forever and abounding” (Ps. 526). chapter)
I hope you feel grateful. I hope that today's word will be used as a welcome water to become a fertile land where a grateful heart springs up.
“It is not saying that the kingdom of heaven is here or there, but it is in you” (Luke 17:21). The place where God dwells is the kingdom of heaven. God dwells in a grateful heart. I hope your home is heaven. Be a grateful home. Let our church become heaven. It means celebrating Thanksgiving with a grateful heart. If you have gratitude in your heart, God is with you. A full thanks is first of all thanks. Thank you always. Thank you all. Gratitude is a virtue that enriches the future. I hope you will become a saint who lives according to the will of God.
“I have decided to live according to the will of the Lord, I have decided to live according to the will of the Lord, I have decided to live according to the will of the Lord, I will not turn back/ Even if the people of this world don’t know me… I won’t turn back/ I turn my back on the world and look at the cross… I will not stand.”
