A Real Thanksgivingਨਮੂਨਾ

Being Thankful

I have heard this phrase a million times: You should be grateful. But what does that really mean?

For me, being thankful is more than just feeling happy about how life is going. That is certainly part of it, but when you walk with Christ, gratitude reaches a deeper level.

When Thanksgiving comes, everyone tries to find something to be grateful for, and that is good. But when you believe in Jesus, gratitude takes on a sacred meaning because He did not just bless us, He gave Himself for us.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)

Think about it this way. If I gave you a shirt, you would be thankful. If I gave you a phone, a car, or a house, you would be even more grateful. But what if I gave you my life so you could live forever? That is what Jesus did for each one of us. His gift is beyond comparison, and it calls us to live with a gratitude that changes our hearts and the way we see everything around us.
