I want your heart full of gratitude for all the gifts I give you.
Now that is not an order!!
NO, NO. But I want to assure you that your soul is only healthier when it is grateful and ALL that you are grateful for comes from Me.
You knew I was going to say that, didn’t you! I mean that ALL that you are grateful for comes from Me.
You can’t pick and choose --- this is from God, or this just happened by chance.
ALL the people I put in your life COME FROM ME.
ALL the goodness in the people I put in your life COME FROM ME.
You simply cannot avoid Me! I mean that ALL comes from Me so do not let your heart be troubled trying to count what comes from Me, and what comes from you, and what comes from wherever, whomever.
What a waste of time breaking down our thank yous into nice neat packages!
Don’t you think?
Yes, you can thank the neighbour or a sibling for their kindness and generosity, BUT do not let your thanks fall into only the material world where it is said and done in a minute.
NO, NO, NO. Let your thanks rest on them, yes, but at the same time let it shoot up to Me.
Your soul cannot survive on the thanks you offer others, yet it can and will survive on the thanks you offer Me.
You step out of the material and address the spiritual which has a much longer “shelf life” than this material world.
Pay attention to this easy, almost sublime, message of thanks to Me. It can so enhance our soul and makes it a richer place in which I can safely dwell.
Do not let it escape your lips to be lost in this world.
But, utter it from your soul to Me --- thank You, Lord.
You do not even have to say what for. Don’t you think I will apply it to the right moment in your life?
So you do not need a list to list off thanks to Me. Just a simple Thank You Lord, Thank You Jesus and I will know what you mean.
It is like having a list of the people you are praying for, that you said you would pray for.
Well, what if you forget a few? Then do you get upset and worried and spend more time trying to recall than in praying to Me?
Oooh! Do you see his sneakiness? He wants you distracted from praying, to trying to recall all the names you said you would pray for.
It is simple. If you tell Me once that you want to ‘add this person’ to your list, It Is Done!
So you do not ever have to recall the names or the individuals you said you would pray for. All you do is tell Me “Lord for all those for whom I promised to pray.”
As soon as someone has asked you to pray for them or someone else -- It Is Done.
The prayer has been made by you and the person who requested it.
Do not burden your brain trying to recall names and people.
When you tell Me you are praying for all those you said you would pray for – It Is Done.
Do not become foolish or too scrupulous trying to do the praying as you had planned.
Tell Me “You know the folks on my list Lord and I am lifting them up to you.”
If you remember some names, ok, BUT DO NOT let trying to remember interfere with your prayer time with Me.
Be very aware of the devil who will keep you in frustration, anger and even guilt, calling yourself names for not being able to remember all the names on your list.
I CAUTION you. I really do.
Because I want to hear from you in the fullness of your prayer which is really handing ALL over to Me for My Care.
