     #GiveThanks?

_give thanks to God. 

Key passage:2 Corinthians 9:10-11

Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

Dear friend, 

There is always a reason to give thanks to God. Always! The problem is, if you can't find a reason to give thanks then it simply means you are focusing on what's not going right, and it's stopping you from seeing what is going right. God is too gracious, kind and merciful to leave any without help, provision or a blessing. You have eyes to see, food to eat, clothes to wear, people to call family, roof over your head, children to call your own, a job, good health...Just take a deep look into your life, you'll see that there is never a time you should not be grateful to God. Things may not have been going as planned over the year for you, but you know what? God has been good to you. You may be looking at some people and thinking if you have what they have you'll be happier or more grateful, why not be happy here and be grateful and trust God to lead you. Truth is, they would begin to wonder how you look good and happy even in the midst of all the struggle.

*Be grateful for little and you'll be for much*

God who supplies seed and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge  the harvest of your righteousness. And he will enrich you in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion and your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. Amen

You see being thankful has nothing to do with how much you have. It's a heart condition. If you are not grateful for where you are and what you have, you will not be grateful if you get to where you want to and have what you wanted. Focus on the goodness and be grateful anyways even as the year is about coming to a close. Don't let the things that didn't work out keep you out of giving thanks to God. 

*God will enrich you on every side so you can be generous in every way*

Being generous is seed sowing. God will not bless you and not make you a blessing. He wouldn't lift you and not use you to left others. For every life, place, or ground you give in, you sow a seed. God is about to suprice you by enriching you on every side so you can be a blessing on every side. So in this season I'll love that you look for grounds to sow in, look for people to bless, look out for where you can be of help, where you can not just preach but show God's love because you have been blessed and loved of God. Let your generosity cause people to give thanks to God. 

Don't sow in a place where your seed will not grow or be appreciated, accepted with joy, valued or where it will be shocked. So in simply terms; not every ground is for your seed. God will lead you to the place to sow and he will direct you so that you can have a harvest in due time. 

*Keep a thankful heart this season*
