:Prayer Of Thankfulness:Two
(1681 hits)
:Prayer Of Thankfulness:Two
Theoretically, We Recognize The Truth Symbolized
By The Sand In The Oyster:
It Is The Minute Grain Of Sand Within The Shell,
Unwelcome And Irritating, Which Produces In The
Course Of Time The Lustrous, Perfect Pearl.
So In Our Live, As We Look Back Over The Years,
We Can See The Precious Values That Have Come
Out Of The Very Trials And Tribulations Through
Which We So Reluctantly Passed - The Illnesses, The
Disappointments, The Economic Crises, The Family
Estrangements, The Failures, The Disloyalty Of A
Trusted Friend - All The Long List Of Woes.
But It Is One Thing To Look Back On Past Trials, And
Recognize Thankfully Blessings That Have Come As
A Result Of Them, But It Is Quite A Different Thing
To Thank God In The Midst Of Them.
And Yet, Should We Not In Fact, Be Thankful For Those
Tragic Experiences Which Teach Us What Is Needful For
The Salvation Of Our Souls?
For Those Which Accepted As From God's Hand, Develop
In Us Those Christlike Qualities, For The Growth Of
Which All Life Seems To Be Designed?
For Those Which Force On Us The Recognition Of Our
Complete Dependence On God's Love And Awaken In
Us The Realization Of His Complete Sufficiency To
Meet Every Need?
What Amazing New Depths Of Joyous Living Are
Available To Us When We Achieve This Much - To - Be -
Desired Ability "To Give Thanks To God Always For All
Things" - To Accept Life In Its Totality From God's Hands,
And To Thank Him For Life - Its Joys, Its Sorrows, Its
Triumphs, Its Failures, Its Evil And Its Good - To Praise
God In The Midst Of It, As The Continuing Creator And
Sustainer Of Our Very Being! (Ephesians 5:18-20)
