If we were considering what our actions produced, our focus on Thanksgiving would dwarf Halloween’s festivities. Instead of feeding the life of fear through witches, warlocks, and dead people, we would teach people the power of a thankful heart and the amazing life it produces! A thankful heart has the power to transform not only your personal life but those around you! How sweet it is to be around those people who, because of their attitude of gratefulness, uplift and inspire everywhere they go! 

2 Corinthians 4:13-15 It is written: “I believed; therefore, I have spoken.” With that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak, 14 because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in his presence. 15 All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.

When you get around someone who is inspiring, it is because of a faith that they possess. Apostle Paul was telling the Corinthian church that God’s grace was the reason for the overflowing thankful hearts. Those who put their trust in what God has done for us are those who will overflow with thanksgiving! 

God’s grace has been poured out upon us all through Jesus Christ! My dearest friend, this Thanksgiving season could mark a monumental transformation in your life! If you are willing to fully embrace God’s grace and choose to have a thankful heart, this could be the best Thanksgiving you have ever had! 

Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

This is the perfect season to put this Scripture into practice! Let’s make a commitment to each other – let’s be a part of the answer to our nation! Let’s uplift and inspire the people around us, one person at a time, by living each moment with a faith-filled, thankful heart! Oh, yes! Someone is going to be transformed just by being around you this Thanksgiving season! It’s time to launch! It’s time to go higher! It’s time for… 

A THANKFUL HEART
