Good morning on this very windy morning. I do believe in Jesus! Is there a deeper meaning to gratitude? Can we feel it more each day as we grow closer to Jesus? I think so and I am not sure that it is something that we can work to achieve. It would seem to be different than something we strive for; it seems more like something we grow into as we realize more of the boundless love of Jesus. Like a child who tries on his father's shoes, we do not have the capacity at a young stage of our Christian growth to wear all of the gratitude that we will come to know later. It is the same in many aspects of Christian life; at first we do not love all Christians, or give thanks to God enough, or perform many other things that will come as we grow in the love of Jesus. This is not something to despair about, or to be impatient with, but something to fall into the loving arms of our Abba Father. He will bring us up in his love at just the right pace and only give us what we can handle at whatever stage we are now growing.
Thank you for the notes of support, I enjoy writing the daily devotional and appreciate the time you take to write to me. May God bless you as he raises you up in the Way.
