Gratitude Is A Great Attitude

  Psychologist Robert Emmons has spent nearly his entire career studying gratitude. He has found that few things in life are as integral to our well-being. Study after study has shown that consistently grateful people are more energetic, emotionally intelligent, forgiving, and less likely to be depressed, anxious, or lonely. Gratitude is an attitude of a healthy person.

Colossians 2:7

..being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, overflowing with gratitude.

 The Bible is full of proclamations about the need to be thankful and grateful. It’s not just good behavior, it's good for us behavior. Gratitude keeps us in the right framework. Lose it and you start to lose everything. As Francis Schaffer put it, “The beginning of men's rebellion against God was, and is, the lack of a thankful heart”.

Romans 1:21

For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened

  So how do we remain grateful? Count your blessing. Make it a habit. Say thank you a lot. Look for things to be grateful for everywhere. Consider what all didn’t happen to you.

1st Thessalonians 5:18

 ... in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

  Want to make your life better? Try focusing on gratitude. It might make you realize how good you already have it.
