Read I kindly accept others blessing me

It is more blessed to give than it is to receive. I do good and share what I have, as these acts are pleasing to God. I support the needs of others and open my home to strangers. When I can help someone in need, I don’t hold back. I find joy in refreshing others and feel blessed when I can be a blessing to them.

I also allow others to bless me. When they offer, I allow them to serve me. Each time someone lets me know of their appreciation, I am thankful. I express gratitude to my God for the people in my life and for the kind gifts they have given me. I receive compliments with humility and thankfulness, considering each one as a thoughtful present. When someone shows kindness towards me, I appreciate their gesture wholeheartedly.

I don’t reject the kindness shown me and I don’t assume I deserve the kindness or blessing, but I also don’t deny someone the chance to bless and be blessed. So I eat the meal placed before me with thanksgiving and don’t rob the chance to connect. I let them serve me. When someone gives me a physical gift, I am always sure to respond to the spirit of the gift with heartfelt gratitude and appreciation.

Although I may sometimes feel tempted to brush off praise, I remember that most people are offering it authentically. They truly want to encourage me. A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need. So instead of deflecting their affirmations, I receive them with humility and gratitude.

Today, I am gracious when receiving compliments. I am thankful each time someone gives me a compliment. Each day, I practice saying, “Thank you” to praise, instead of deflecting it. I kindly accept others blessing me.

Reflection Questions to Ask Holy Spirit:

Do I graciously accept blessing and compliments and allow people to help me?
Am I appreciating and not taking advantage of everyone who offers to help me?
How can I show more humility and heartfelt gratitude when someone compliments me?

Read As I humble myself before God he lifts me up

Every evening before bed, I make some time to reflect on my day. I think about what is true, and honourable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable, about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. I feel grateful for each blessing and acknowledge its impact on my life. Following this rhythm helps me to be in humble awe and appreciation of all the good things in my life.

I am not selfish, and I don’t try to impress others. Embracing true humility, I extend love to those in my everyday world. I don’t just think of myself and protect my own interests. Instead, I possess a greater concern for what matters to others instead of just what matters to me. I take time to listen and hear what they are saying. I want them to know they are seen and heard. What I see and hear continually amazes and blesses me, so I choose to be interruptible.

As part of God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, I clothe myself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. I extend heart-felt thanks and ask Holy Spirit, “What does love look like?” in every interaction. I seek to be completely humble and gentle; and patient, interacting with others in love.

I clothe myself with humility toward others, because God opposes the proud but offers grace to the humble and I know I need His grace. I know I have His grace and I feel so grateful for His grace. His grace empowers me to accomplish what He asks me to do. I extend His grace to others. He has shown me what He requires and what He requires is for me to live justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with my God. As I humble myself before God, He lifts me up.

Today, I am committed to feeling gratitude for each blessing I receive, and showing appreciation to everyone I feel appreciation for. Life is more fulfilling when I live in thankfulness.

Reflection Questions to Ask Holy Spirit:

Am I living justly, loving mercy and walking humbly with my God?
Have I been thinking of others’ interest instead of just my own?
Do I clothe myself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience?

Read Gratitude transforms my life

I can far too easily look at what is lacking and can far too easily bring the dark clouds to others. I can far too easily let the darkness overwhelm my light and can far too easily use my words to bring death and not life.

But death AND LIFE are in the power of the tongue, and I choose to let nothing come out of my mouth that isn’t for the building up of others. I speak the truth in love. I let my light shine before people. The darker the night, the brighter my light. I change the atmosphere with His presence. He will never leave me or forsake me. I choose to look to what God is doing and choose not to fixate on what’s left undone.

Gratitude transforms my life. I was created to walk with God in the garden in the cool of the day. One day I will do that with Him in heaven. But forever started the moment I was transferred from the dominion of darkness and into the kingdom of light. Today I will walk with God in the garden in the cool of the day.

I will come into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise. I count my blessings. Being thankful is good for my emotions, my relationships, and my body. Gratitude brings me peace that I cannot even understand, but I can enjoy. It is peace with myself, my God, and my loved ones. Gratitude transforms my life.

I notice small details and recognize the positive moments that happen each day. As I reflect on what the Word teaches me about giving thanks in all things, I empathize with others. I express my appreciation with actions and truth in love and tell others how much they mean to me. I let them know what a difference their presence and thoughtfulness make in my life.

Love covers over a multitude of sins, and I show grace because of the grace I have received. I offer hospitality to others without grumbling and love because He first loved me. I love with the love I have first received from Him.

Today, I look at the world with gratitude and love. I am content with what I have and eager to share my blessings with others. Gratitude transforms my life.

Reflection Questions to Ask Holy Spirit:

Am I allowing gratitude to transform my life?
Do I need to ask someone to forgive me today?
What do You want me to feel grateful for today?

Read Choosing to feel grateful changes my perspective

When I am afraid, I choose to trust my God. When I am feeling low, I choose to feel thankful for His many blessings. Choosing to feel grateful changes my perspective.

I thank Him for the small things I feel grateful for what I can too easily take for granted. A sunrise, comfort from a pet, a warm house, somewhere to relax are all blessings He has blessed me with. My boundary lines have fallen in pleasant places.

I remember that He’s blessed me with everything I need - my health, my family, and my friends. I give thanks for the education and skills He’s entrusted to Me and helped Me developed.

When I act on the appreciation I feel for people in my everyday world, my relationships are enhanced. I value those around me and want them to know it. Just being around them improves my life. I let them bless me and work to truly bless them in ways they’ll appreciate.

Choosing gratitude changes my perspective from feeling I do not have enough to realizing I have been blessed in so many ways. I recognize the abundance in my life. I look at what He’s doing and will not focus on what’s left undone. Every good and perfect gift comes from the Father above and everything God created is good, so nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.

I work at feeling grateful and choose to worry about nothing, pray about everything and give thanks in all things because I have a good Father who cares for me. Every morning I give thanks. Throughout the day, I let others know how much they mean to me. I use my words and actions to express my gratitude.

Today, I take time to savour the good things in my life. I use my actions to pay forward the kindness that I receive and express my appreciation by letting others know how much they mean to me. I slow down and notice my blessings and marvel at how much has been entrusted to me. Choosing to feel grateful changes my perspective.

How do You want me to show gratitude to family and friends?
What do You want me to notice and feel thankful for today?
