A grateful for heart is a humble, obedient and loving heart.

When you are blown away by the magnitude of God’s gift of grace, you will be excited about giving grace to others.

A survivor who has never known safety or dignity talks with you—you treat her/him carefully, respectfully, kindly and with gentleness—have you changed them? No. But in that moment, in your Christlikeness, you have by His Spirit brought a small shaft of light into their darkness.

I went into Twitter/X because I hated it so, and I thought that there was some way of using this fabulous instrument to be of nurture of those who follow me. :) IAMCULTURECARE

Often people wonder where the grace of God is, at the very moment when it is at work in them, but it’s not the grace of comfort or relief, but the uncomfortable grace of heart and life transformation.

The barometer of our knowledge of God's love and our intimacy with him is our gratefulness.

I hope you’ll go be with your brothers and sisters in your local church tomorrow—and really be with them. Enjoy their company. Fellowship in prayer, the word and song. Try not to be in a hurry to leave them. Serve them and be served. Remember Jn 13:34-35 and 1 Pe 2:9-10 and 12.

To forgive isn’t to “let someone off the hook”—a fishing image of releasing a fish tricked into taking our bait. To forgive is to stay humbled, astonished, and grateful for how God has fully forgiven us in Christ, and then to extend that same mercy and grace to others.

1. Humiliation – The toxic power of shame. 2. Humility – The fruit, fragrance, and freedom of God’s grace. 3. Hardening one's heart – The insanity of refusing to humble ourselves to receive God’s welcoming, healing, transforming grace.

The idea of gratitude isn't radical. The practice of it is.

Gratitude is an attribute of the forgiven.

Bless you who sit in the tension of listening and supporting without fixing. Your ministry can be exhausting and weighty, but know that you are making an important difference as you bear witness to the lives of those who are suffering.

Busy? Try resting! True rest expands our capacity to serve others. Overwork does the opposite. Seems counterintuitive and we resist it.

"I'm grateful that I have suffered so that I can be more fully human. And so I love the thing that I most wish didn't happen because it gave me a gift.” (Stephen Colbert)

Gratefulness offers a powerful perspective shift that can help us change our present, have hope for the future, and appreciate our past.

There is one political maxim which comforts me: 'The Lord reigns.'

We can't ask or expect others to make us grateful. This is an inside job.

When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude.
