Shortly after writing his first letter, Peter hears word of false teaching spreading amongst the churches in Asia Minor.

Gratitude is an attitude of the heart. To be grateful, we must first be aware of what we have received or what we have been kept from.

Looking back to Jesus, to his cross, and to all that he has done for us is crucial to living each day in gratitude.
