Grateful Heart Overflows

Hello My Friend,

This morning I woke up with a grateful heart. Rodney and I were in prayer this morning and my cup runneth over. I am very grateful for my friends that care for me, family; both blood and by adoption through Christ Jesus, my dog Sadie and Rodney. Most of all I am filled with an overwhelmingly gratitude towards God the Father.
All of us have days where we think it can't get any worse and something happens. We pray for our day to end on one small good note, but it ends with an argument instead. Life doesn't seem to get any better just bitter and there appears to be no hope in sight.
I thank the Lord that he didn't give up on me. He will not give up on you either. He carried me through some really tough times, sometimes to the point of death, sometimes it was just muddy waters that I had to tread through. All the times I cried on my pillow not wanting the sun to rise, yet knowing it was going to anyways. I am thankful that my friends walked with me through those tough times and through them God showed his love.
I don't know what you may be going through today, but I pray that you will be encouraged that Jesus is walking with you, maybe even carrying you through it. He cares about the littlest details of your life.
You may feel alone, but my friend you are not. I pray for you and I want to encourage you to press toward the prize of Jesus Christ. There is a better home than this one, Jesus went to prepare for you. 
If you do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, the Son of God; I encourage you to invite him into your life today. He's waiting for you.
If you know of Jesus Christ, but have not spent time with him in a while; I encourage you to stop now and say hello then continue with ACTS and watch your world change. 
Oh, you may not know what ACTS is, huh?
Admiration ~ Give Jesus admiration for what He is doing and has done in your life. Call him by his different names through glorifying him. Son of God, Morning Star, Holy One,....etc.
Confess~Tell Jesus what has kept you separated from him. You know the sin in your life or the lack of giving him some of your time. We all get busy, but He is always sitting in the chair waiting to talk with you.
Thanksgiving~ Give Jesus your thanksgiving list. It changes your perspective when you look at the good things in your life. Just a new day to see your child, friend, or pet is worthy to be thankful for.
Supplications~Let Jesus know what you would like to do or have or better need from him. He is so willing to give you his fullness, richness, and grace. 

Go ahead and try it, it just might change your life. Prayer works.

~Be encouraged
