One of the problems in discussing this topicof gratefulness is that it is subject to my own individual perceptions. The determination is made by my values, my character, my life experiences and my relationships. This issue is of the heart and it can only be addressed with God.

Here’s what it looks like if i live in dis·con·tent: A restless desire or craving for something one does not have. A restless longing for better circumstances. Discontent is the absence of contentment. This is from yesterday but i did not do it justice. As i meditated on it yesterday, last night and this morning i realized what [...]
So how do i live out the words written in the nature of God. How do i make it more than a desire, a goal or a great idea?

For me to add a single word to todays post would be to take away from the beauty of the words Graham and Ruth shared. i am just basking in them today not speaking but listening, hearing, meditating and worshipping. But for me, you know, it’s the opposite – i have been inconsistent in relationships, but oh so [...]
He is consistent, the most consistent person ever who will never change His heart towards me, no matter what i do. He cannot be anything other than what He is. He’s a covenant maker and a convent keeper and He’s good. My God is consistent, but He’s also unpredictable, i never know what God’s gonna do next-i [...]
There is a communion with God that asks for nothing, yet asks for everything.. . - George McDonald It is the most joyous feeling to totally trust the best, the most honorable, the most powerful the most integreous, committed, and faithful Covenant Maker, who is also the most decent person who ever lived- Decent: a recognized standard [...]
