Attitude of Gratitude

One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him. Luke 17:15-16

Gratitude cannot keep quiet, and will not keep quiet. Like a excited fan at their favorite sporting event, emotions explode in cheers over a well-executed play and score. Heartfelt thanksgiving has to escape and express itself to those who contributed to this cause for joy. If verbal gratitude is withheld, then those who remain silent miss out on bringing public praise to God. Ultimately, Jesus is behind every good gift, as ever good and perfect gift comes from above (often He uses His people in the process of blessing).

An outcast of society becomes an insider with God through thoughtful and verbal thanksgiving to Him. Do you still exhibit a humble attitude of gratitude, or have you graduated beyond gratefulness? In fact, the more you grow in the grace of God, the more thankful you become. You show up and speak up with thanksgiving. At work you thank your team leader for employment and trust God with opportunities for advancement. Open wide your mouth with words of thanksgiving, and watch the Lord do wonderful works around you.
