The Power of a Grateful Heart

  Image by Freepik Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NIV) "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." Reflection: Gratitude is a powerful attitude that can transform our lives. In 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Paul encourages us to "give thanks in all circumstances." This doesn't mean we are thankful for every situation, especially the difficult ones, but it means finding reasons to be grateful even amidst our trials. Gratitude shifts our focus from what we lack to what we have. It helps us see God's hand in our lives and recognize His blessings, no matter how small. When we cultivate a grateful heart, we start to notice the everyday miracles and the ways God provides for us. Consider the story of Paul and Silas in Acts 16. While imprisoned, they chose to pray and sing hymns to God. Despite their dire circumstances, they found reasons to be grateful and praise God.

Recent miracle in Egypt !

Broadcasted in CBS...

A Muslim man in Egypt killed his wife because she was reading
the Bible and then buried her with their infant baby and an
8-year old daughter.

The girls were buried alive! He then reported to the police that
an uncle killed the kids. 15 days later, another family member died.
When they went to bury him, they found the 2 little girls under the
sand - ALIVE!

The country is outraged over the incident, and the man will be
executed at the end of July 2012.

The older girl was asked how she had survived and she says:- 'A man
wearing shiny white clothes, with bleeding wounds in his hands,
came every day to feed us. He woke up my mom so she could nurse
my sister,' she said. She was interviewed on Egyptian national TV, by a
veiled Muslim woman news anchor. She
said on public TV, 'This was
none other than Jesus, because nobody else does things like this!'

Muslims believe Isa (Jesus) would do this, but the wounds mean He
really was crucified, and it's clear also that He is alive! But, it's also
clear that the child could not make up a story like this, and there is no
way these children could have survived without a true miracle.

Muslim leaders are going to have a hard time to figure out what to do
with this, and the popularity of the Passion movie doesn't help! With
Egypt at the centre of the media and education in the Middle East , you
can be sure this story will spread. Christ is still controlling and turning
the world.  Please let this story be shared.....


The Lord says, 'I will bless the person who puts his trust in me.  
(Jeremiah 17)


Please forward to all on your list and God will reward you abundantly.....

spread the Good News!
