Read Every day I show appreciation

I feel grateful for everyone in my everyday world and every single person my Father brings across my path. Everyone is a blessing, and each encounter is an opportunity to show them Jesus and become more like Jesus. Therefore, I choose to show appreciation.

I let no word come out of my mouth that isn’t for the building up of others as I seek to encourage others and build them up. I look out for their interests and not simply my own, and I give thanks to my God because of them.

When a conversation starts out less than encouraging, I remember to ask Holy Spirit what He loves about the person. What He shows me, I genuinely compliment them on. It diffuses most situations and helps me see why they are so passionate about the issue. It brings Him and His peace and sometimes His joy into the moment.

I also show gratitude by serving those around me. I serve others in love and I serve them as unto the Lord. Because He first loved me, I can love them. Perfect love is the love I receive from Him and share with them. Perfect love is limitless because His love has no bounds.

To everyone I meet, regardless of the type of encounter we have, I silently say, “Thank you who you are and for your purpose in this life.” I bless them with the love of the Lord.

Today, I affirm my appreciation towards others by making eye contact and smiling and putting their needs ahead of my own. It’s a decision, emotion and action of gratitude that confirms I appreciate wholeheartedly those He’s blessed me with and entrusts me to.

Reflection Questions to Ask Holy Spirit:

What are the ways You want me to show my gratitude toward others today?
Is there someone You want me to apologize to and/or forgive?
How do You want me to increase my feeling of gratitude?

Read Each day I am grateful for simple things

I am strengthened with all His glorious power, so I have all the endurance and patience I need. I am filled with joy, always thanking the Father. He has enabled me to share in the inheritance that belongs to His people, who live in the light. He has transferred me from the dominion of darkness to His wonderful kingdom of light. Today is truly an amazing gift from Him.

I am filled with wonder with all I see around me and I feel gratefulness rise in me at the sound of a child’s voice, the fragrance of flowers in the air and the sight of dew-laden grass in the morning. I think of the smile on my friend’s face, or I notice the sound of the birds singing in the early evening. My thoughts lead me back to feeling gratitude for these simple things that show me His light in my life.

With eyes wide open to the mercies of God, I give Him my life, as a living sacrifice, consecrated to Him and acceptable by Him. I don’t let the world around me squeeze me into its own mould, but let God re-mould my mind from within, so that I prove in practice that the plan of God is good, meets all His demands and moves me towards the goal of true maturity. I remind myself to look around and find what brings me feelings of joy and gratitude.

The simplest things have great value to me. Little simple gestures change lives daily. The things I do for others because of what He’s done for me make a difference in people’s lives. Little things people do for me, I genuinely appreciate and show gratitude for. Each day the sun rises I feel grateful for the little blessings He blesses me with. I celebrate small milestones along the way.

Life can get pretty complicated sometimes. When it does, I re-focus myself and acknowledge the contentment I find in simplicity. After a hard day’s work, I indulge in something I enjoy. I give myself permission to laugh. And I am grateful for these small moments.

Today, I acknowledge all the wondrous—yet simple—things that surround me. I am so grateful every day for the simple things in my life.

Reflection Questions to Ask Holy Spirit:

Have I asked You to help me remember to be grateful for the simple things in life?
Have I asked You to help me ensure I am spending a few minutes every day reflecting on the blessings in my life?
At this very moment, what do You want me to feel grateful for?

Every breath I take is a reminder of God's blessings

Every breath serves as a reminder of God's blessings, encouraging gratitude and mindfulness in our daily lives and deepening our spiritual connection.

Read Every breath I take is a reminder of God's blessings

Each morning and every evening, I remember my God, who has cared for me since I was born, and carried me every step of my life. He has made me and cares for me and carries me along and is saving me. I inhale His blessings and exhale my gratitude. I naturally praise Him because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

With each breath, I think of something that He has blessed me with and entrusted to me. His works are wonderful. I know that full well. His eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in His book before one of them came to be. I am overwhelmed with the grace He grants me. He empowers me to accomplish every good work prompted by faith.

Whenever I am with the people I love and who love me, I take a moment to appreciate the blessing they bring into my life. My boundary lines have fallen in pleasant places; He has given me so much to enjoy. I inhale the moment and the joy that it brings to my life. Being present in the moment fills me with so much peace and satisfaction.

I think about what is true, and honourable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. And I focus on things that are excellent and worthy of praise. It builds me up and keeps me going. It provides the reason for me to push through even the most difficult times.

During the hard days, I take a moment to meditate on God’s goodness and grace He has shown me and blessed me with. I remind myself that, although today seems impossible, I know I can trust my good Father because He cares for me. God is enough, and I have enough. He has given me everything I need for life and godliness.

Today, I am humbled by all the goodness that my life presents to me each day. There is so much to be grateful for. I say “thank you” for the blessings and my ability to share them with the world.

Reflection Questions to Ask Holy Spirit:

What blessings do You want me to remember right now?
What can I do today to bless others with the blessings I have from You?
What are some things that I feel most thankful for?

Gratitude is the attitude that guards my heart

Discover how cultivating gratitude attitude can protect your heart and enhance your emotional well-being, fostering a positive mindset and resilience in life.

Read Gratitude is the attitude that guards my heart

I live with my whole heart aligned with itself and with God. I live wholeheartedly. My heart is my emotions, but it’s also my decisions and my actions. The three need to agree. I can’t say one thing and do another. I can’t make a decision that goes counter to my emotions.

Peace is the only emotion I allow to rule in my heart. Other emotions make better servants than masters. My emotions show me what I truly believe. Aligning my decisions, my emotions and my actions enables me to enjoy His peace that passes all understanding. Thanksgiving aligns all three. Gratitude guards my heart.

With thanksgiving, I let the spoken word of God fill my life. I fix my thoughts on what is true, and honourable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. I think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.

With thankfulness in my heart, I sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs and I teach and get counsel with all the wisdom He gives. I obey what He says. I only do what I see the Father do. I only say what I hear the Father say. My steps are guided by gratitude. I do everything I do as unto the Lord, and I do it all with gratitude.

Today, giving thanks is a natural part of my life. I feel grateful. It’s not a rote declaration. I celebrate opportunities to show my appreciation. I let the peace of God rule in my heart, and I am always thankful. Gratitude is the attitude that guards my whole heart.

Reflection Questions to Ask Holy Spirit:

How should I let Your spoken word fill my life today?
What are some things that I feel most thankful for today?
Who can I encourage today?

Read I am grateful for the blessings that surround me every day

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. He blesses me with every spiritual blessing in Christ. All of God’s promises are “yes” and “amen”. Every moment of every day, I see His endless blessings around me. I appreciate everything associated with life to be something special.

A joyful heart is good medicine. Gratitude and appreciation open the door for joy. When I hear the laughter of children, I feel blessed to share that joy. When I see the care someone shows another, I appreciate the God who loves us.

As I am filled with Holy Spirit, I can give thanks to God the Father FOR all things. I can trust He is working all things together for the good and I choose to remember how He’s done so many times for me in this life. I take the time to learn from each experience and feel blessed to learn life lessons along the way.

Taking in the fresh air at sunrise brings me so much happiness. I feel my lungs expand. I remember the steadfast love of the Lord never changes, His mercy never comes to an end; they are new every morning. I am blessed to be alive. I will live all the days of my life.

All my senses are alive. My eyes, ears, nose and touch can enjoy all the blessings God is ready to overwhelm me with today. All the days of my life have been written in His book before one of them came to be. I am truly grateful to be in this position. I know that everything I can do is because I am truly blessed.

Today, I avoid taking things for granted. Even the simple things are truly appreciated, because I know these blessings come from God. I celebrate everything I have and avoid complaining about what I still wait for. Each day, I look forward to the chance to give thanks! The Lord blesses me and keeps me; the Lord makes His face to shine upon me and is gracious to Me; the Lord lifts His countenance upon me and gives me peace. I am grateful for the blessings that surround me this and every day.

Reflection Questions to Ask Holy Spirit:

When was the last time I laughed with someone?
How can I make space to be filled again with You?
How am I able to be a blessing to others today?

Blessings Overwhelm Me

Read Blessings Overwhelm Me

I am called to be a blessing, and I choose to be one to someone today. As I bless others, I am blessed. As I refresh others, I am refreshed. In all things, I am blessed, and I choose to notice all the good in my life and feel grateful. Even if I experience challenging events, I always remember how blessed I am and choose to feel thankful and do something to show someone appreciation. I will praise and thank God before the battle and in every battle.

I always have plenty of whatever I need. My good Father gives me good gifts and I trust Him to take care of my needs. And often, I am blessed with more than enough. I am loved, and I live loved as I share from my abundance with a joyful heart.

My gratitude and generosity opens the storehouses of heaven. God overwhelms me with more blessings that I can even imagine, so I am taken care of in every way and have more than enough to share. I give and I receive. My gift returns to me in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into my lap. The amount I give determines the amount I get back.

Even when I have an opportunity to doubt, I make the choice to trust in the Lord with all my heart. I will praise Him in the storm and will rejoice before my answer comes. I will remind myself of how He’s overwhelmed me with blessing in the past and choose to be grateful for the many blessings I have. My good Father will provide all my needs according to His riches in glory.

I look after the blessings God entrusts to me and don’t bury them in the ground. Instead, I invest them in others and I seek to multiply what He entrusts to me for His glory. I tell others about the good things He’s done for me and use the abundance He provides to bless others. I remember how others have encouraged Me, so I speak the truth in love and let nothing come out of my mouth that isn’t for the encouragement of others. What I have to give, I give to meet the needs of others.

My God is generous, and my heart is abundant. Blessings come to me freely, and I cultivate gratitude and generosity to bless others with what I’ve been blessed with.

Today, I choose to feel thankful and purpose to bless someone in some meaningful way. I make space to reflect on how I can feel. I am blessed and I regularly experience gratitude for all the wonderful things in my life. And I seek opportunities to show this gratitude by living with a sense of abundance.

What can I do to feel thankful and show appreciation?
What do You want me to feel thankful for today?
Can You help me remember something challenging in my life that You’ve already worked out for good?

Appreciating creation reminds me that He cares for me

Reflecting on nature's beauty reassures me of God’s love and care. It's a powerful reminder that we are never alone in this world.

Read Appreciating creation reminds me that He cares for me

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. As I walk outside each day, marvel at the mystery. I look around and am amazed at the life surrounding me. Inhaling the air, I notice the sensation of the breeze across my face. I am struck by the beauty of creation. Day after day, creation speaks. Night after night, it makes Him known. They speak without a voice and shout loudly when they are noticed.

The beauty of creation wraps its arms around me. Today can be a good day or a trying day. No matter which, my Creator and His world are right here. He’s waiting to guide me through the day-to-day of my every day. I choose to think of His good thoughts towards me. His good thoughts are for me and not against me. They are more than all the grains of sand on every beach on every ocean and every dune in every desert. He rejoices over me with singing. He quiets me with His love. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me!

I feel grateful every time I think about creation and am amazed and in awe of what the Creator has created for me to enjoy. I gasp in sheer joy when I see deep purple blooms on the bushes or snowflakes falling from the sky. The rich, green grass of summer tickles my nose with its aroma. The laughter of children playing in the sun makes me smile and laugh inside. A rainbow reminds me of His promise. What am I that You are mindful of me? Who am I that You care for me? I am so grateful that You do. I am so grateful I can trust You.

If a troubling thought nags at my mind, I choose to do something about it. I take a walk in the open air and I breathe in; I breathe out. The aromas of nature and the caress of the breeze rise to meet me. Since my Father cares about the little sparrows, so they have food even if they don’t store up and the grass of the field, so it looks so good, even though it can be thrown in the flame tomorrow - I trust Him to take care of me. I remember I can cast my care upon Him because He cares for me. I worry about nothing, pray about everything, and thank God in all situations. Creation helps me remember Him and His care for me.

Today, I promise to be in the moment and take intimate notice of creation shouting the story of the Father’s love for it. The colour of the sky, the faint fragrance in the air, and the sound of the trees rustling in the breeze all remind me of His care for me.

Reflection Questions to Ask Holy Spirit:

When was the last time I made time for all that creation reminds me of Your care for me?
How do I make an opportunity to relax in the beauty of creation today?
Regardless of my mood each day, how can I remind myself to turn to creation for solace and sustenance for my soul?
