Gratefulness Is Our Guardrail
You’ve might have said, or heard a friend say, “my heart on this matter is_________”. It doesn’t take a microscopic lens to discern a person’s heart. We shout it from our social media pages and plaster it on t-shirts. What excites us and what concerns us is on full display. It spills out in a million little ways: our speech, our actions, where we spend our time, our money and cast our ballots; who we hang with, and who we don’t; what we are thankful for, and what we don’t appreciate.
A New Thing
When we go through struggles whether physical or mental in life, they usually change us in some way. It is normal for us to want to return to life as we knew it before. However, ignoring the change and failing to sit taking inventory of our current season could make us frustrated. We become so busy trying recoup what we think we lost that we lose sight of what God made new. We forget what he revealed to us during our struggle or time in the wilderness. We overlook the stream trickling down in front of us as we look for something bigger.
