The Power of Gratitude

Every one wants Peace, joy and success.
I have learnt that how we think is a key to living a sucessful life and that my mindset has to be positive to win in life.  separating the negative issues and challenges from my identity (not allowing them to define me or destroy me) is essential.Recognising the goodness of God and being grateful for all things; small things, bigger things and things to come is empowering. The moment we start being grateful and remain grateful, things change for the better. Life is privilege, when we wake up each day, thanking Jesus is the best way to start and not all have this opportunity.

Gratitude positions us for more; as we start recognise the goodness of God in our lives. and place value on everything we have, great or small, whether that be – relationship, property, business e.t.c., then life feels exciting and the well of praise leaps from within, the truth is that when we do not recognise our blessings we abuse them!
Gratitude is the cure of depression, opens closed doors Paul & Silas discovered this while in prison, gratitude changes our perspective helping us to re-interpret suffering and trials. Conversely murmuring, grumbling, or complaining extends our trials! Remember new levels have new challenges, but challenges build our spirit, becuase we learn and grow the most under trial.
In my walk with Christ I have learnt that being born-again is more than an electrifying feeling in fact it is a process of renewal! An attitude of gratitude is a great tool in our process of renewal
