5 Things You Can Be Grateful For Today


          Every day we have things to thank God for giving us. Here are a list of five things to be grateful for when you need something to bring joy to your life or just to be thankful for in general.

 1. All things work together for our good.
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose”
-Romans 8:28

 2. We are loved.
“This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins” 
-1 John 4:10
3. We are never alone.
“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” 
-Matthew 28:20
4. We have peace in the midst of chaos.
“And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” 
-Philippians 4:7
5. We have a place held for us in Heaven.
"But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body."
-Philippians 3:20-21

           Let these truths found in scripture reign over your life today and every day. Amen.
