GRATEFUL HEART



Dear One,
Gratefulness flows from a gracious heart.
Ungratefulness flows from an unclean, prideful heart.
Gratefulness is an outgrowth of love and respect.
Ungratefulness is the outgrowth of selfishness and self-consumption.
When a person realizes that he must be dependent upon Me for all of his guidance, healing and restoration in all areas of his life, then gratefulness is the result.
If a person is dependent only upon himself, then he becomes prideful, arrogant and hard. He has no room in his life for help from Me until he encounters something beyond his ability to fix. When that occurs and he calls out to Me, then he receives My help and develops a grateful heart which begins to soften and become open to all areas of My guidance.
There is virtue in being grateful because you have opened yourself up to Me and to others.
A grateful heart is a full heart, brimming with gratitude and love for Me and for all people..
Love, God
