Grateful Hearts Finish Well
Gratitude is the secret ingredient of those who finish strong.
Ephesians 5:20 says, “Give thanks always for all things unto God.” Gratitude keeps you from growing weary and bitter. It reminds you that every step, even the slow ones, is progress.
When you thank God for what He’s done, your faith rises for what He will do next. Gratitude shifts your focus from what’s missing to what’s working. It fuels hope, strengthens patience, and keeps your joy alive.
Those who grumble lose sight of grace, but those who stay thankful stay helped by God. Gratitude is not just good manners; it’s good warfare. It protects your heart from discouragement and invites God’s favor into your journey.
So, celebrate every milestone. Rejoice over every testimony, big or small. Let thanksgiving be your lifestyle until the finish line.
And when you finally cross that line, you’ll be able to say like Paul: “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” (2 Timothy 4:7).
