1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Rejoice always and delight in your faith; be unceasing and persistent in prayer; in every situation (no matter what the circumstances) be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.

When we are thankful for something, we draw closer to it; when we are negative about something, we turn away. Jesus brought us salvation, hope, healing, and fellowship with God and the Holy Spirit. The Word of God has transformed our lives, and we should be thankful every day for God’s Love toward His people.
