A few thoughts as Thanksgiving draws near…

Thankfulness always enhances our relationship with God and usually spills over to build better relationships with others.

Borrowing a quote from Andrew Murray that I like: “Thanksgiving will draw our hearts out to God and keep us engaged with Him; it will take our attention from ourselves and give the Spirit room in our hearts.” 

We should remind ourselves that thankfulness, by itself, flows as a gift of the Holy Spirit and His residence in us as believers, cementing our relationship with God and Jesus Christ.

Regardless of our current circumstances, the Holy Spirit can guide us through God’s Word to boundless reasons for thanking the Lord! 

Is thankfulness a main ingredient in your prayers? What are you thankful for today?
