As Christians, we have so much for which to be thankful. But sometimes we lose our focus, as we get sidetracked by life’s responsibilities, struggles, and challenges. Before we know it, our joy is gone, and we end up expressing a bitter, ungrateful spirit.

In this message, Dr. Stanley talks about how Christians ought to be overflowing with gratitude, and begins by reminding us of the security and faith we have in our relationship with Christ. This means . . .

We were chosen before the foundation of the world.
We are indwelt by the Holy Spirit.
We are eternally secure.
We have the gifts of the Spirit.
We have God’s unconditional love.
We have His moment-by-moment presence.
And so much more!

By recognizing these truths, we will develop a grateful spirit, characterized by Christlike attitudes and actions. Learn to have a positive outlook, a humble spirit, peacefulness, generosity, and other great qualities that will open doors to new relationships and opportunities to share the love of Christ with others.
