“in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1 Thessalonians 5:18 NKJV)

God has given us the gift of Eternal Life through Jesus Christ; that, in itself, is something that we should forever be thankful for.  For Jesus Christ is the Blessed Hope; and we can place our trust in Him.  For, the Day of the LORD is approaching; and God will wipe away every tear from our eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for life as we know it to be in a sinful world will be no more (Revelation 21:4).

Therefore, be sure to show the world what it means to be a recipient of God’s grace by living in this hope; withhold nothing that is good from anyone; in all things demonstrate that the love of Jesus Christ is in your heart; be blessed and be a blessing; give thanks to God for every moment of life that He has given you; and give Him thanks for the life that He has prepared for you in heaven; in everything give Him thanks.
