Whatever happens, keep thanking God because of Jesus Christ.
This is what God wants you to do.
1 Thessalonians 5:18
_praising and thanking God no matter what is your situation is an expression of how great and much is your faith to your God. it is a reflection of how much you believe and trust your God. when i say "no matter what your situations is", i mean "whatever your situation is", you just have to praise and thank God! i hope i will not sound bias here for my morning is just as ruined as yours is if ever yours is not good. it started yesterday when i was hindered to do what i have to do. i felt like a failure when i can't do my daily task of encouraging people in my phone list through my "inspirational" text messages. it just don't feel good not doing it.
_in everything give thanks.. , this is not so good to hear. i usually complain and think a lot of bad things when there are bad things. learning that i can't complain is really bad but then, learning that i can come to God in prayer and express how badly i feel is a relief. complaining will not do anything good to me. it would only heighten my anxiety, makes me worry much and feel more depressed. instead, i could come to God, kneel and cry. i knew He listens. i knew He knows exactly what i feel. i knew He would do something to ease my pain. that's a lot better. i can't complain, yet i can pray.
_thanking and praising God amidst whatever point of your life you are into is a recognition that you still makes God your God of your life. it is you expressing your faith that no matter or how terrible it is, God is still the One you are trusting. and no matter how joyous your life is, you still believe that God will be in control. tears will flow in both extreme happiness and sadness but God will not have a minute of confusion on how you feel. He knows He does and He only does what He knows is good for you.
_ .. for this is the will of God. i may not find it good to smile today but i know, i believe, i trust that God does this that i may have a bigger smile tomorrow.
