Imagine living a life where you have no hope. No hope that gives you motivation to complete what you are working through. No hope to tell you that you're going to make it, that everything will be okay soon. Imagine having no hope in your life.
How hard would that be? How how would it be to have to deal with something that you weren't prepared for by yourself? That would be miserable, and practically impossible emotionally. We wouldn't be able to handle that kind of stuff on our own.
The good news, is that we don't.
Christianity gives us that hope. We have that light at the end of the tunnel to see and know that everything will get better and that everything will be okay. We have a hope of eternal life in Heaven. We have the hope that there is a God who loves us so much that He is willing to take us in as His own children. We have hope given to us through Jesus Christ, and that is something to be thankful for.
This post is just a little acknowledgement that we should be thankful for so much that has been given to us. We don't deserve anything that has been given to us, yet God still gave it to us. How thankful should we be just to have a new day approach us every morning? Just to know that how hard things are getting right now, there is is still a God who loves us and in no way wants to hurt us. We have hope.
I'm working on being thankful myself daily, instead of just when things are good. It's a hard thing to do, but I'm working on it. I'm learning to be grateful for everything, not just the good. We could all give thanks daily too. It's a hard thing to do, but it will be totally worth it in the end. Jesus never told us that it would be easy, He just said that it would be worth it. The least we could do is be thankful.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 - give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
