Thankful

"And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 1:12-14 KJV). The Apostle Paul was thankful for Jesus Christ and the mercy and grace the Lord gave him abundantly. Even though he persecuted Christians, the Lord was still merciful. There is so much to be thankful for, not only today, but through the many years that have come and gone. I could be thankful for the material things I might have, but they only last for a season. Soon enough it will all perish and be gone. I am thankful for God, who gives us so much more and greater things than those that perish. He gives us eternal life in His kingdom forever and ever. I am so thankful for the time when the Lord came through the door and set me free. I am thankful for the many nights when He was there when I was in need. I am also thankful for my family who I will see saved one day soon, set free, and washed by the Blood of Jesus. There are so many things I am thankful for, moments that have changed my life forever. I'm so thankful for the times when the Lord walked in to my office and prayed with me, and the many altar calls when the Holy Spirit fell upon our youth group and the Power of God set them free. I am very thankful for every thing the Lord has done and is still doing around you and I. What are you thankful for this day?
