May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in HOPE. Romans 15:13

Christ wants us to be full of Him. He feeds us with everything we need to be satisfied by the power of His love. But, sometimes we forget how very much we are blessed. We allow the ups and downs in our lives to diminish God’s will to provide. 

There is reason to trust the One who creates and attitude of gratitude in our hearts. He moves us from the selfish side of want and finds the way to provide EVERYTHING we need. He fills us with strength for today and places peace where prayers will welcome our PRAISE. 

The Bible says, “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.” No matter what we’re going through, Christ is with us. His presence in our lives is reason to be grateful. He leads us to the Father and reminds us why we must trust in Him, when we’re ready to receive the bounty of His love. 

God gives HOPE for the future. He allows confidence to grow in the goodness of His grace. He loves us! He will arm us with everything we need to remain faithful. And, if we put our HOPE in Him, He will help us understand; peace will come, when we have learned what it means to be grateful. 

Dear God, Thank you for Your presence in our lives. Open our hearts, so we will humbly embrace an attitude of gratitude for YOU. We will begin this day in praise and take time to fill ourselves full of EVERYTHING we need to remember; YOU are in control of ALL things. Amen
