Guest speaker Minister Robert Rivera goes over five topics regarding the ways gratitude can transform your heart.
Psalm 103:1-5 (NKJV)
1 Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: 3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, 4 Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, 5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Principle: What we continually remember influences how we interpret what we are currently experiencing.
Philippians 4:6–7 (NKJV)
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Principle: A grateful heart doesn’t eliminate life’s problems, but it can prevent those problems from dominating our peace.
John 16:33 (NIV)
33 I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
James 1:2–3 (NKJV)
2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.
Principle: Gratitude helps us recognize that difficult circumstances do not have to define our future.
1 Timothy 6:6–8 (NKJV)
6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.
Principle: Gratitude teaches us to appreciate what we have without allowing what we lack to steal our joy.
Psalm 100:4–5 (NKJV)
4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. 5 For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations.
Principle: Gratitude helps us experience joy in what is present instead of postponing happiness until everything is perfect.
