I hope all who may read this post will bear with me as I reproduce some quotes that I have read during my quiet time with God. I want to internalize what I am reading, and believe if I write them out here, it will sink in a little deeper into my being, and then you can hold me accountable if you don't see the changes in me.
From the book: "Battlefield of the Mind" by Joyce Meyer (ch.15)
Meditate daily on all the things you have to be thankful for. Rehearse them to the Lord in prayer, and as you do you will find your heart filling up with love and light.
Expressing appreciation is not only good for the other person, but it is good for us, because it releases joy in us.
I would rather sacrifice my thanksgiving to God than sacrifice my joy to Satan. I have learned (the hard way) that if I get grumpy and refuse to give thanks, then I will end up giving up my joy. In other words, I will lose it to the spirit of complaining.
