I Am Grateful
As I reflect on my life, I am reminded of the many blessings I have received from God. In a world that can be unpredictable and uncertain, it's easy to get caught up in worries about the future. But as Christians, we are called to live with gratitude and hope.
In James 4:14, we read, "Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes." This verse reminds us that our lives are fleeting, and that we should make the most of the time we have.
Hebrews 9:27 says, "People are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment." This verse reminds us that our time on this earth is limited, and that we will one day face judgment. But as Christians, we can face the future with hope and confidence, knowing that our sins are forgiven and that we have eternal life through Jesus Christ.
In Titus 2:11-14, we read, "For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say 'No' to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ." This passage reminds us that we are called to live godly lives, and that we should be looking forward to the return of Jesus Christ.
Finally, in Mark 13:32-33, Jesus says, "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come." This passage reminds us that we should always be ready for the return of Jesus Christ, and that we should be living our lives with purpose and intention.
As I reflect on these scriptures, I am reminded of the many things I am grateful for. I am grateful for the gift of salvation, for the promise of eternal life, and for the hope of the return of Jesus Christ. I am grateful for the opportunity to live a godly life, and to share the love of Christ with others.
In conclusion, let us live our lives with gratitude and hope. Let us be mindful of the fleeting nature of life, and let us make the most of the time we have. Let us look forward to the return of Jesus Christ, and let us live our lives with purpose and intention.
