Gratitude Is Not An Attitude

It's time to rethink our understanding of gratitude. Utilizing Colossians 3, where we're called to 'let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts' and to 'be thankful', Paul gives us a great launching pad for gratitude. This isn't just about having an 'attitude of gratitude,' but rather about allowing thankfulness to become a core part of who we are. We're reminded that attitudes are fleeting, but true gratitude is a state of being that persists regardless of circumstances. Our message draws an interesting parallel between letting Christ rule in our hearts and the resistance we might feel to being told what to do. This analogy helps us understand the challenge and importance of surrendering control to God. A great question to meditate on this week: Are we truly letting Christ rule, or are we still trying to sit on the throne?
