Thanksgiving day is past, the day Americans all over the world stop to celebrate God's blessing in the new world to be called the United States of America. However, it is not a one-day celebration. If we haven't done it yet, we need to learn to cultivate this thankfulness. We need to become so thankful to our Father God that it overflows from us to others. I know, some people have heard that you are supposed to overflow God's love to others as you pass through the days and weeks but am I suggesting anything new? Overflowing thanksgiving to others shows as praise to our Father. So, we will be worshipping Him in our everyday life. Isn't this what we want to show the world around us? Won't this make them stop and wonder about our faith? Hmm, a thought. If you do this, you will be given new opportunities to share of God's love through the life of our Savior, Jesus Christ, the Messiah.
Do you have a story of God's greatness which you have seen or personally experienced? Have you considered that this sharing of the story and thankfulness is one testimony you can use to share God's love, a door to share Jesus' ultimate love gift? Wow, it is perfect and right before Christmas, the celebration of Jesus' birthday. So, if we cultivate thankfulness so that it flows everyday, we cultivate opportunities to share the Gospel.
In this day of severe recession that has been a part of our daily lives for 3 years, isn't this the most right time to share/overflow your thankfulness? Often times of most difficulty is the time when people are most receptive to hearing about Jesus and His love gift to all humanity throughout generations. People are most receptive to hear of hope during hard times. People want to know that there is more to life, that this life can't be all, that there is hope for a better life. Go about your day being thankful. Be overflowing. Open the doors for others to see God's love in you. Be prepared to give account of your joy in God. Be ready to give a testimony of God's love gift in the birth, life, death and resurrection in Jesus. People want hope. People need to hear about the love of Jesus and his life giving gift of salvation and an eternal better/best life. Are you thankful today?
