Title: Let's get back to you
(Give thanks for this, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.
(1 Thessalonians 5:18)
There was a story like this in an article by a pastor.
Clarence Darrow during the Great Depression in America in the 1930s
There was a famous atheist called This man was a lawyer, but he became an atheist.

thought the opportunity had come. Every time he walked around and gave a lecture, he said, "Wow.
Guys, look at this era. If God were alive, he would have saved us from this difficult situation.
Could you please give me something we've all lost Just looking at this, there is no God
This is clear,” he said.
One day, black people gathered together to give an atheistic lecture.
As he always did, "Everyone, we've lost everything. We've lost our dreams, we've lost our property.
And I lost my song. How can you sing in a situation like this?
Are you?" I shouted, and suddenly an old woman raised her hand and said, "Doctor.
Sir, I can sing.” “No, how can we get to this point?
Are you saying you can sing now?" said Dr. Daero, the old woman
Nee exclaimed loudly, "We can sing for Jesus."
Then they start arguing here and there at this grandmother's words.
All. "That's right" "Hallelujah is right" "It's because of Jesus". In one moment, that person
It is said that the crisis has changed.
Everyone!
Today we celebrate Thanksgiving Day.
Even in the midst of hardship, adversity, and tiredness, we have gratitude in our hearts
because of you In the gospel hymn, "I love my brother because of Jesus. Because of Jesus."
We can be thankful for Jesus, as there is a song that says, "I love you."
I did.
Jesus who gave up the glory of heaven and came to this earth to save me!
Christ Jesus, who died and rose for me!
I can be thankful for Christ Jesus, who is still with me by the Holy Spirit.
There is a phrase like this in the book 'Happy Day' by Barnette Gibson.
"How much you hold in the palm of your lucky hand depends on your happiness and your relationship.
there is no Without gratitude in your heart, you are soaked in the wrath of ruin.
will be Please learn how to be grateful before any other studies.
When you master the art of gratitude, you will find happiness.”
I did.
There are things that a person loses sometimes in life.
If it is an object, you can get it back, but
If you lose your mind, it is very difficult to get it back.
In particular, if you lose your gratitude, your rhythm of life will be disrupted in every way.
Gratitude is the most precious thing in our life.
1. What are the characteristics of the fallen human figure? lost gratitude.
Since the introduction of sin, the relationship between each other began to estrange, and the other
By imputing the imposition, the feeling of gratitude disappeared.
In the end, there was a bloody murder between the brothers, and the blood continued to this day.
are losing Bloodshed is still going on around the world.
This is what a fallen man looks like.
One of the hallmarks of fallen humanity is a life without gratitude.
Only those who win in a competitive society are intoxicated with a sense of victory, and lack of gratitude.
Please see all media and entertainment programs.
Entertainment and violence are rampant to make you laugh rather than thank you to impress.
What will children who grow up watching it learn? It can only be worrying.
It is the older generation who have created this image of society today.
Efforts to overcome poverty were good, but the obsession that comes from trying to get ahead of others
It was just a thought, and it didn't teach us how to be grateful while living together.
Because gratitude was lost, only extreme selfishness remained.
This is also evident in the phenomena of churches today.
It is only for my church, and it is only the pride of our church.
Even when it comes to volunteer work, it's more competitive than whoever does it with gratitude.
There were many cases where
Even in the personal lives of the saints, rather than giving thanks to God, they want what others do not have.
I just prayed.
How wrong these are! We must reflect deeply.
2. It is said that thanksgiving is God's will for the saints.
“In everything give thanks, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
la" he said.
Originally, God gave <free will> to give thanks when creating human beings.
Because gratitude is not something that is forced.
Being able to be grateful means that much maturity.
When I was young, I didn't know what gratitude was.
But as they grow older, they develop an appreciation for their parents, teachers, and neighbors.
God wants us to live with thanksgiving to the saints.
He said that was the original will of God.
Complaining, rebellion, and hatred are from the devil.
Just as a fallen angel became Satan, Satan is always unthankful.
They separate each other and shift responsibility.
And it leads to pride and pride.
God's will is peace for all people.
He said that the peacemaker would be called the Son of God.
Therefore, the work of the Holy Spirit is love, joy, and peace.
Love, joy, and peace come from a grateful heart.
Therefore, it is God's will to live with thanksgiving.
We cannot live against the will of God.
3. Therefore, everything should be the condition for gratitude.
① First of all, we believers should give thanks for the grace of salvation.
This is because if you gain the whole world and are not saved, you will end up in death.
If you live without knowing the truth of eternal life, your life will be in vain.
Therefore, we should give thanks for being a child of God.
How dare we who were sinners call God our Father?
The more I think about it, the more grateful I am.
② We should be thankful for living every day with God's protection.
We should thank God for the grace that has allowed us to maintain our health over the past year.
We should be grateful for the grace that has protected our family over the past year.
③ We have faith and hope that we can depend on God even though we are in the midst of refinement.
I should be grateful for continuing the line of love with you.
④ In particular, our nation and nation should maintain this much even in many opaque environments.
We should be thankful for God's grace.
⑤ And we should be thankful for the help of the Holy Spirit who makes it possible to pray.
Besides, he is a well-known martyr. 6.25 The Communist Party member who killed his son at the time was his son.
said. ① He made martyred children come out of the bloodline of a sinner like me.
② How could the Lord give these treasures out of the multitude of saints?
I am also grateful that you entrusted it to me, ③ the most beautiful among three men and three women.
Thank you for the blessing of offering your two sons, the firstborn and the youngest, ④ to the martyr of one
After all, how much more will the martyrdom of the two sons be thanks to God. ⑤ Believe in Jesus
It is said that it is a great blessing to all lie down and die, how much less will they be shot and martyred while preaching.
Thank God, ⑥ My son, who was preparing to go to the US to study abroad, was more
Since I went to a good heaven, my heart was relieved and I thanked God. ⑦ My love
to repent of the enemy who shot the two sons and give him the heart of love to make him my son.
I am thankful to God God, ⑧ The martyrdom of my two sons led to countless heavenly blessings.
I believe that there will be sons, so I thank God, ⑨ In the midst of adversity like this
The joy of finding the above eight truths and the love of God, the Lord with ample faith
Thank God our Lord Jesus Christ.
If this is not gratitude in all things, what would it be?
Gratitude changes our lives.
It turns misery into happiness and despair and frustration into hope. Gratitude is like darkness
It opens up a new perspective on life as if shining a light on it.
We must restore gratitude through faith.
We need to recover the lost gratitude.
An American young man was amputated in a car accident.
For some time after losing my leg, everything was resentful. After a while, the inspiration of the Holy Spirit
This opened the eyes of the heart toward God.
Obviously, I felt that there was a great providence of God. This young man later became a missionary
and went to Africa. The village was inhabited by cannibals. line
Seeing the teacher, they tried to catch good prey.
Then this missionary removed his prosthetic leg. How good is a cannibal
Ara and bit his leg with his mouth.
At that moment, the teeth came out with a rumble.
Then the cannibals knelt in front of the missionary, trembling that God had come.
All. For that reason, on the contrary, the missionaries succeeded in preaching the gospel to them.
say that.
Who knows, that the prosthetic leg, which was the target of resentment, will later become a tool to save lives.
Would you!
We cannot fully understand God's grand plan during our brief suffering.
If a mature person had entered, it would have ended with their food.
God's providence works beyond human intellect.
Dear saints,
The sufferings you are going through now do not dare compare with the glory that will be revealed.
I did.
We must have the eyes of faith open to see the providence of God in the midst of suffering.
I did.
We must see the amazing providence of God using Joseph as the prime minister of Egypt after the training.
I did.
Are there any saints in suffering?
Let's be thankful for everything.
May we all have a day of regaining the gratitude we have lost. ♣
