Being Thankful And Merciful....

How many times do you wake up and forget to thank God for what He has already done for you?   Nevertheless, what He is going to do for you.   God wants us to give thanks.   To show that we appreciate Him for who He is in our lives.   To tell Him that we don't take for granted the blessings (the empowerment to prosper) that He has placed in our lives.

If we forget to tell Him thanks, why should He continue to move in our lives.   If our children are ungrateful, do we continue to give to them?   If they don't appreciate what they have....if they don't take care of the things that we brought for them....do we continue to buy?

Aren't you glad that God is merciful.   That He shows compassion to us even when we offend Him.   So many times when we are offended, we walk off and refuse to show mercy.   As a matter of fact, we make the choice not to forgive or forget.   

But not God.   If we repent, He chooses to see us as blood covered.   He chooses to see the sacrifice that was made instead of the mistake.   He chooses to remember our sins no more....

Don't you think it's time to show others, the same compassion.   To express the same love and compassion to this world that God is showing us.   Aren't we supposed to be His vessel on the earth?

Two things that we need to do today.   Be thankful and bestow (means to present as a gift or honor) the same mercy to others that God shows to you.
