We can't physically see our future and we weren't here to witness what happened at the cross. Yet it was all done and is being designed for us to experience His life. The past....far beyond our individual past....was for us. The future....the things we have not yet experienced or seen.....is for us. Everything that God has done and everything that He is doing is for us to experience who He is. So that we can trust Him. So that we can be assured of who He is.
Are you thankful for the cross? No you weren't there....but Jesus died for you and me on the cross? But you have to know and recognize within yourself that what happened at the cross was with you and me in mind. Your tangibility has to go beyond what you can physically see, hear, feel, or touch. Your tangibility has to be in knowing God. Knowing that He is true and that He sacrificed His all for you.
You must expand in the spirit. Open yourself up to see and understand what God has done and is doing for you. In order to truly be thankful, you must understand who God is and what He has done. Your understanding validates your thankfulness. Because understanding says ..... I know. You have to know who God is......what He has done......and what He is doing in your life.
Stop looking at what you have and basing your thankfulness on what you can see and touch. Look at what has been done for you, in you, and through you. Look at history and perceive your future. Everything that God did.....He did with you in mind. He knew you before the earth began. He ordained and predestined you. He established His sacrifice for you. Look at the value that He has placed on you. Now look beyond yourself and understand why you have so much to be thankful for.
