Dear friends, the absolute key to a thankful heart in whatever time period or season one lives in is ONLY found in Jesus Christ and in His RIGHTEOUSNESS (2 Cor. 9:15)! In Jesus is found ALL forgiveness, ALL pardon, All hope, All promises, ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS, and ALL ETERNAL LIFE for the child who has placed ALL their trusted in Him for ETERNAL SALVATION in RIGHTEOUSNESS (2 Cor. 1:20)! For ALL of us who are, the question to be asked is, are we truly thankful for Almighty God our Heavenly Father for so loving us that He sent His only begotten Son on our behalf (John 3:16-17), that we may be redeemed, forgiven, received, adopted, and made RIGHTEOUS in the Person and work of Jesus Christ (Rom. 10:4, 1 Cor. 1:30)?
Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice!
Dear friends, are we truly thankful in light of the day in which we live to still be able to worship Almighty God in Spirit and TRUTH here in America, and that we still have a measure of time left to get out His ETERNAL saving Gospel message to this lost, dying, and condemned world? Beloved, are we truly rejoicing that the Lord Jesus is coming again very soon and that this fallen world is NOT our ETERNAL home? Beloved, we have such an ETERNAL glorious hope, such ETERNAL precious promises and such an ETERNAL fulfilled future with our ETERNAL Savior and Lord in perfect RIGHTEOUSNESS (1 Cor. 2:9, Rev. 22:5)! Beloved, that truly is the thankful fire that must burn in our hearts all year long! We need to possess that thanksgiving of heart that keeps us fresh and joyful as we walk this pilgrim journey (Phil. 4:4)! For indeed, this world is truly NOT our home, we are truly just a pass'n through! Beloved, see and possess your ETERNAL calling in Christ Jesus, be His thankful, faithful ambassador and light in such days, and ALWAYS give thanks to the ETERNAL LORD of life in ALL THINGS (Col. 3:1-4, 1 Thess. 5:16-18)! For this is indeed the Will of God!
Beloved, may this Thanksgiving season be a wonderful, thankful blessing to you all! We indeed have much to be ETERNALLY thankful for (Phil. 4:4)!
Beloved, The Kingdom of Heaven is truly at hand!
DJP I.F.
