Sometimes people don't seem very thankful these days. I say that from my experience from working in a grocery store. The retail business has given me the experience to see a whole gambit of different personalities. If working in retail were a reality television program it would probably amply named, "The Battle of the Personality Disorders!" Maybe I am overtired and being a little harsh.
It is often times very easy to pick out other peoples character flaws and it seems much hard to look and discover our own. Sometimes the Lord allows certain things to happen in our lives to reveal something in our hearts that needs to be taken care of. The Lord is still working on us through the Holy Spirit that dwells within us.
I am thankful the Lord saves us by His grace. We are saved by placing our faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ. It is from that point on that the Holy Spirit starts His work in our lives to make us more like Christ. This work is a life long process and it won't be completed until we are taken to Heaven.
I am thankful the Lord forgives me of my sin through my faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. Sometimes I get stressed and angry words come out of my mouth. We have all have those times of stress and frustration. The after we say those things we feel ashamed and foolish for getting so upset over something that probably isn't really a big deal at all.
Sometimes it is hard for us to admit when we are wrong because of our pride. There is not one of us that is good enough to save ourselves. We each need the forgiveness of Jesus Christ.
We need to learn to forgive others as Christ so greatly forgives us our many sins.
Lord,
Thank You for forgiving us our sins through the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus.
We praise Your Name.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
