IT IS IMPORTANT TO BE THANKFUL TO GOD.
THE BIBLE TEACHES US TO BE THANKFUL:
The Psalms tells us repeatedly to give thanks to God – for His goodness, for His enduring love, and for His righteous laws. Hebrews 12:28 tells us that gratefulness is part of acceptable and pleasing worship to God. Colossians 4:2 tells us, “Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving.”
Colossians 2:6-7 “So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.”
Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.”
Every morning when we awaken, we can rejoice and be glad for the new day He has made. (Psalm 118:24) We can be thankful that God’s mercies are new every morning, His steadfast love never ceases, and His faithfulness is great.
Lamentations 3:22-23 “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
THERE IS ALWAYS A REASON TO GIVE GOD THANKS. LET US GIVE GOD HIS THANKS CONTINUALLY. OUR GOD IS WORTHY.

THE BIBLE TEACHES US TO FORGIVE:
MARK 11:25 Whenever you pray, forgive anything you have against anyone. Then your Father in heaven will forgive your failures.”
ROMANS 12:19 Don’t take revenge, dear friends. Instead, let God’s anger take care of it. After all, Scripture says, “I alone have the right to take revenge. I will pay back, says the Lord.”
LUKE 17:4 Even if he wrongs you seven times in one day and comes back to you seven times and says that he is sorry, forgive him.”
COLOSSIANS 3:13-14 Put up with each other and forgive each other if anyone has a complaint. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Above all, be loving. This ties everything together perfectly.
LUKE 6:36 Be merciful as your father is merciful.
CHRIST SET THE EXAMPLE OF FORGIVENESS:
LUKE 23:34 Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them. They don’t know what they’re doing.” Meanwhile, the soldiers divided his clothes among themselves by throwing dice.
LET US FORGIVE ONE ANOTHER, STOP HOLDING GRUDGES, AND SEEKING REVENGE. FORGIVE AND LET GOD HANDLE IT.

STOP ACTING LIKE YOU ARE BETTER THAN OTHER PEOPLE
THEY WANT TO PUT SOMEONE DOWN BECAUSE OF THEIR SIN, AS IF THEY HAVE NO SIN. WE MAY NOT HAVE THE SAME SIN, BUT WE ALL HAVE SIN IN OUR LIFE.
Romans 3:22-23 GW
Everyone who believes has God’s approval through faith in Jesus Christ. There is no difference between people. Because all people have sinned, they have fallen short of God’s glory.
DON’T ALLOW ANYONE TO CAUSE YOU TO THINK THEY ARE MORE THAN YOU, OR THAT THEY ARE BETTER THAN YOU, AND REMEMBER GOD LOVES YOU JUST LIKE YOU ARE, GLOOORRRY!!! HALLELUJAH!!!

THE LOVE OF MONEY IS A DREADFUL THING:
MATTHEW 6:24
“No one can serve two masters. He will hate the first master and love the second, or he will be devoted to the first and despise the second. You cannot serve God and wealth.
LUKE 16:13
“A servant cannot serve two masters. He will hate the first master and love the second, or he will be devoted to the first and despise the second. You cannot serve God and wealth.”
1 TIMOTHY 6:10
Certainly, the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Some people who have set their hearts on getting rich have wandered away from the Christian faith and have caused themselves a lot of grief.
HEBREWS 13:5
Don’t love money. Be happy with what you have because God has said, “I will never abandon you or leave you.”
A dreadful, a dreadful thing is the love of money. It disables both eyes and ears, and makes men worse to deal with than a wild beast, allowing a man to consider neither conscience, nor friendship, nor fellowship, nor the salvation of his own soul; but having withdrawn them at once from all these things, like some harsh mistress, it makes those captured by it its slaves. And the dreadful part of so bitter a slavery is that it persuades them even to be grateful for it; and the more they become enslaved, the more their pleasure increases; and in this way especially the malady becomes incurable, in this way the monster becomes hard to conquer.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO FALL IN LOVE WITH MONEY.
WE MUST LOVE GOD, NOT MONEY.
DEUT. 6:5
YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL AND WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT.

PHILIPPIANS 4:9
Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
ROMANS 8:28

GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD
“Give thanks to the Lord because he is good, because his faithful love endures forever.”
Be eternally grateful because the Lord is always with you.
LAMENTATIONS 3:22-23
“Certainly the faithful love of the Lord hasn’t ended; certainly God’s compassion isn’t through! They are renewed every morning. Great is your faithfulness.”
God’s heart is brimful of love, and we can depend on Him to love us just as much every day.
PSALM 5:11-12
“But let all who take refuge in you celebrate. Let them sing out loud forever! Protect them so that all who love your name can rejoice in you. Because you, Lord, bless the righteous. You cover them with favor like a shield.”
Those who believe in Him and follow His teachings are guaranteed His shield and can sleep knowing they are never alone.
OUR GOD IS ALWAYS WITH US, HE LOVES US, AND WILL ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF US.
