Devotional Reflection

LoveJoyGratitudeHope

When we're happy, we sing. When our hearts are broken, we sing. Today, we sing to show our thanks. God deserves not only all of our praise but also all of our thanks. All of our songs are based on Jesus and the good news that comes through Him and gives us life. As that message, that word of Christ, fills our hearts, we are set up to be grateful children of the Most High.

Prayer

You have showered a great deal of blessings on me, and I am eternally grateful for them. You have given me hope for the future with Your generosity, forgiveness, and compassion. You gave me Jesus, who gives me life today and assures me of life tomorrow. The incredible material blessings are wonderful, as are the blessings of loved ones and family members. The knowledge that I will one day see You face to face and share Your glorious presence forever is the greatest blessing of all, though. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
