Since everything God created is good, we should not reject any of it but receive it with thanks. -1 Timothy 4:4 (NLT)
GOD’S CREATION IS GOOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
What do you have that God hasn’t given you?
Hasn’t he provided you with everything good?
Each of God’s creation is for his own glory
Give thanks to him and you will never be sorry.
Gratefulness means never rejecting his creation
Receiving it gratefully brings us close to perfection
God knows all things and has control your destiny
He has your interest at hand; embrace peace to be free.

Thankfulness changes everything in one’s life. I used to be a very negative thinker and a worrier. It was not hard for me to be filled with all kinds of stinking thinking. A book written by a Christian changed the way I think. Being grateful for little and big things that God has given you daily was one of the tips he recommended. So I started listing down things daily for all things to be thankful for. Only after a few months, I noticed that it wasn’t involuntary for me to entertain negative thoughts anymore. My perspective changed from pessimism to optimism. So many verses in the bible tells us the importance of gratitude. It changes our attitudes. God created everything good and we should never reject any of his creation but receive it with gratitude.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for all your creation.
REFLECTION
How can you express gratitude for all that God has given you?
