After attending an awesome service at church tonight, I was reminded on how we can experience Joy. Joy comes from the feelings of gratitude and thankfulness. When we rejoice in the things we have and take inventory of the blessings we receive, it can be hard to let negativity and fear rule our minds or hearts.
William A Ward is famous for asking this question: “God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say "thank you?" Well, Have You?
Be Thankful for what you have. Be Thankful for what will come to you. Be Thankful for all you experience and have yet to live. Be Thankful for the people in your life and the relationships that keep you safe. Be Thankful for your health. Be Thankful for your career. Most of all, Be Thankful that you can experience Grace.
"The sky is grey and the light is far
The sea is a rage within my heart
I turn my sight to the crashing waves
I cry in the night just to be saved
I need eyes to be my guide
I need a voice that’s louder than mine
I need hope
I need You Cause I can’t do this alone
Grace I call Your name
Oh won’t Your smile fall over me
I’m cracked and dry on hands and knees
Oh sweet grace rain down on me
I need You grace
I pray for dawn a new day to live
I pray for mercy only Jesus gives
Though darkness falls and a million cry
I believe over all there’s a greater light shining for us"
