We Give Thanks- Day 30

Hey,

Don’t let your expectations rob you of peace in your current reality.

Sometimes, the reason we find it hard to express gratitude is that we expected a different circumstance. For example, you expected that you’d get a scholarship but you didn’t and you forget to show gratitude to God for the fact that you’re in school.

You thought you’d have been promoted by now, so you forget to thank God that you have a job.

You thought your year would go differently and you’d have achieved more, but you forget to thank God for life.

It’s a trap that’s so easy to fall into. This morning, the Holy Spirit told me not to allow the fact that my currently reality isn’t what I hoped for or expected, rob me of experiencing joy, and now I’m telling you too.

And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.- Romans 5:5

Your gratitude preserves your joy.
