LIVING IN GRACE-FILLED GRATITUDE

[The following is a reprint of my blog of December 28, 2011.]

Why is it so hard for me to remember that God knows my needs?

The instant I hear you wishing for something, I know God knows your needs. Then I’ll hear my head asking for patience or kindness or love…and aren’t those pretty wishes? Clearly, I’ve upgraded them from my two banes: glory and money…probably my ego thinking that if I make my wants pretty enough, then God will give me them.

I have read, and I believe it to be true, that to know God aright is to never seek anything…is to live in a state of grace-filled gratitude. 

Knowing it is the first step, proving it is the test.

Thank You.
