Gratitude

Gratitude is an important state of consciousness that keeps us in an awareness of our oneness with Divine flow. As we come to know and accept this truth we see that a grateful heart does not need something to be grateful for. We can be grateful with the same spontaneity as being happy. Rev. Richard Rogers

It simply flows from within and becomes a causative energy. The grateful heart actually opens the way to the flow, and becomes an attractive force to draw to it great things.

In our daily life we come across conditions, circumstances or people that present us with challenges, and we try to cope by either reacting negatively or by resisting the situation or the person.

The circumstance can weigh so heavily on us, the last thing we would consider is saying thank you for that. And yet, this is precisely the time when the power of gratitude should be invoked.

Accepting "what is," without judgment, and blessing the situation does not change the circumstances, but it changes our thoughts and feelings.

By saying thank you, we are releasing it all to God and as we do so, we become aware of the omnipresence of God's healing light that encompasses any negative condition and thereby heals it.

Prayer

Living, loving Spirit, today I resolve to be thankful for everything in my life... the good, as well as he painful things that come my way. I shall keep an open heart, and with it, see you in everything knowing that in my gratitude lies an increased supply of blessings. And so it is.
