Jesus Calling 2013-11-22

A thankful attitude opens windows of heaven. Spiritual blessings fall freely onto you through those openings into eternity. Moreover, as you look up with a grateful heart, you get glimpses of Glory through those windows. You cannot yet live in heaven, but you can experience foretastes of your ultimate home. Such samples of heaven fare revive your hope. Thankfulness opens you up to these experiences, which then provide further reasons to be grateful. Thus, your path becomes an upward spiral: ever increasing in gladness. Thankfulness is not some sort of magic formula; it is the language of Love, which enables you to communicate intimately with Me. A thankful mind-set does not entail a denial of reality withits plethora of problems. Instead, it rejoices inMe, your Savior, in the midst of trails and tribulations. I am your refuge and strength, and ever=present and well proved help in trouble. Habakuk 3:17=18; Psalm 46:1
