For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Romans 1:21,22

It is one thing to believe that there is a God or to believe in God. The beauty of grace, which is God's love given without condemnation, is meant to change how we think of God and therefore how we feel and think about ourselves. Grace lets us know God in a way that refreshes and brings the desire to express joy and thanksgiving. The man or woman that lives joyful and thankful automatically give glory to God. Today may you delight in finding ways to express joy and thanksgiving. Let God's grace express through your words and expressions the beauty of a thankful heart. In this place you will always be known as an encourager and a blessing. Some of the most difficult situations are changed with expressions of joy and thanksgiving.
