THANKSGIVING UNTO GOD

Abba, O Loving Father, we expressed our gratitude and thanksgiving, O Lord, your life in us is a wonderful gift! A blessing and a privilege, it is unexpected, unmerited, and unwarranted. And yet You give it so freely! To have a relationship with You, Lord, is a “portion” beyond measure. To know Your presence and to hear Your voice—thank You for this gift! To hide ourselves in the shadow of your wings—thank You for the protection You offer us, Your children, in Christ,
Because You are our inheritance, Father, You hold us close to Your heart, and We are safe. We trust that no one and nothing can snatch us out of Your hands! No one is stronger than You, O Lord, No one can outsmart You Lord, into letting us go. We are in awe of the fact that You, Almighty God, keep us secure. Your eyes are ever upon us, even as You rule over all creation!
Nothing, O Lord, compares to this portion, this inheritance, that We have received from You, Lord, If We were to own everything in the world but still not have this inheritance, We would be poor indeed. We would have nothing of eternal value, nothing to delight us and sustain us in all the ups and downs of life. Only You give us wisdom and instruction, direction and guidance, counsel and correction and consolation.
Therefore, Father, We will remain confident in You, Lord, We know that you will never abandon us, Though We sometimes exert our will in opposition to You and find ourselves battered and worn, You lead us back to Yourself with compassion and kindness. We bless you, Lord! We want to be as faithful to You as you have been to us. May We never abandon You or wander far from Your protecting hand!
Thank you, Lord, for giving us every reason to be glad and rejoice! Thank you for giving us every reason to remain confident! Thank you for giving us an inheritance that can never be spent or exhausted, a portion that will never lose value. We are so grateful that You live in us. We take comfort knowing that You are with us every minute of every day.
