Accept with gratitude everything
that comes into your life,
whether it's from a friend or an enemy.
It is to remind you of your need of humbling.
He that humbles himself shall be exalted.
Humble yourself...
only you can humble yourself.
Nobody can humble you.
And then God'll give you more grace;
He'll exalt you in due time.
"Learn of Me,
for I'm meek and lowly in heart,
and you'll find rest for your soul."
Learn meekness from the Lord,
and find rest for your soul.
Every good thing comes by the grace of God.
This realisation will help you to be grateful people.
God's looking for such people
so He can bless for it pleases Him.
Ingratitude comes from selfishness,
and we see selfishness
in Christians who look unhappy.
Because they're forgetful people
who could not count their blessings,
like what the Isrealites did in the wilderness.
They forget very fast and
take many things for granted,
even the grace and mercy of God.
Like the Isrealites, they keep asking
for selfish things.
Salvation is not enough;
They begin to develop an attitude of complaining,
thereby opening the door for the devil
to enter to cause harm.
(Fear opens the door and to wrong thinking.)
Wrong thinking makes you take stupid,
destructive actions that can destroy.
All started from an attitude of ungratefulness.
Be always grateful for the simple things in life,
even your breath,
so that God can bless you even more.
The secret to blessing and favour of God is gratefulness.
Therefore be grateful and thankful for every single thing, day by day.
