Gratitude
Being Thankful is not something that comes naturally to the person who is not happy with the life God has given them. It could be suffering for them or the ones they love has barred them from a heart of gratitude.
Suffering can be used for good. It can make you more thankful than you can imagine. Trusting God with the life you have. Being content and thankful for the gift of your Savior and the opportunity to share His love with others.

We are told by God to be thankful in all things. This, I believe is not only because God delights in our praise but because it is the antidote to an unhappy and discontented person. Some of the Israelites never got out of the desert because of their grumbling and complaining, not trusting God to meet their needs.
Gratitude has the power to change the heart and the mind. It brings about joy and peace and love to a dying world. It is the Word of God to be grateful because God is good. Jesus is the Word. There is power in His word and it accomplishes what it is set out to do...change our hearts to the glory of God.
The funny thing is all you have to do is begin to say how grateful you are in meditation and prayer and you become grateful. Faith works that way. It produces a heart through the Spirit that you cannot do. It is the very heart of Jesus. It is a mighty gift of happiness in your God. It is seeing through His eyes. It is His will becoming yours.
Joy, Peace and Love...in a life you may not understand but know He is in control and He is good brings Glory to God and a glow in your face. You have been in the presence of Jesus. God inhabits the praise of His people. He gives peace and rest.
Shine Jesus shine!
