Are You Thankful? | Week Two | How God Revealed the Ingratitude of My Own Heart

Read Romans 1:18-32 Week Two | How God Revealed the Ingratitude of My Own Heart Thankfulness and Gratitude are, first and foremost, a matter of the heart. It’s not about what we do or don’t do; it’s the heart that must be changed. After all, we may do many good deeds, and yet we might do them in bitterness or reluctantly or resentfully or out of a sense of duty or to win God’s favour because we believe that mercy is earned and not given. I have learned and am learning that thankfulness is a gift. First and foremost, if you want to exercise a spiritual gift, show some gratitude, be thankful and then you might, and we might see some fruit of the Spirit. Thankfulness and Gratitude are a Gift of the Spirit and a matter of the heart, and it flows down to us, dropping like the gentle rain from heaven. Mercy and Gratitude always go together; what starts as mercy in heaven ends as Gratitude on earth.
