Have you ever heard the comment that Christians should be the most joyful people on earth? I have heard it and at times, have admittedly, felt condemnation in that comment.
However, in the book Choosing Gratitude, Nancy Demoss Wolgemuth goes on to say that as believers, we have so much more to be thankful for. She doesn’t say that life will always be easy. She is just pointing out that we have a Savior who gave His life for us. We have been given the gift of eternity. We have unconditional love from a Heavenly Father.
We are truly blessed.
Sometimes we just need a heart check and to re-focus. When worries bring us down, let’s focus on the promises we’ve been given in Christ. Let’s turn our eyes upon Jesus and let the things of this world fade away. And when we get discouraged again? Start the focusing and fixing our eyes all over again.
