Why It Matters

Why It Matters Expressing gratitude to God for things in my life usually looks like a checklist. Family, thank you. Job, thank you. Home, thank you. Yet, seeing a stranger have pure delight in a simple gift, showed me gratitude can go deeper. Jesus told us it’s more blessed to give than to receive. He knows the secret to fulfillment isn’t in what we get, but rather in what we give away. Within that idea is something our hearts can be grateful for. We have a heavenly Father who can use us to bless others and doesn’t forget us in the process. We can experience joy when God uses our lives to uplift those around us. What has been a time in your life the Lord used you to bless someone else? Take a moment to be grateful the Lord chose you for that special task.
