The Never-Ending Thank You

Thursday, August 26, 2021

Todah is Hebrew for thanks. To give thanks takes a few seconds if you say it, a little longer if you write it, and potentially longer if you show it with an act of gratitude. But in the Books of Ephesians and 1 Thessalonians, it's written that we're never to stop giving thanks. In marriage, we tend to show appreciation and thanks at the beginning. But after the honeymoon, the appreciation and thanks tend to get less. We tend to stop giving thanks to those we should be thanking the most. How about just thanking and appreciating your loved ones for just being there? And what about God? Have you thanked Him today for salvation, for loving you, or for just being there? The greatest sign of having received a gift is to give thanks. So if you want the power of the greatest Gift in your life every day, then you must become itself one big and continuous thank you to God. Express your thanks today to those in your life whom you may have taken for granted. And don't forget to thank God for all He's done for you. For the Gift He gave you has no end. Therefore, let your thank you be the same.
