James 1:17 – Every gift God freely gives us is good and perfect, streaming down from the Father of lights who shines from the heavens with no hidden shadow or darkness and is never subject to change.

Gratitude Day 934

Just in case someone has not told you lately … YOU are an AMAZING and BELOVED Child of

God.

That’s right.

YOU.

YOU and all the things that make you special, unique and different from everyone else.
YOU and the things that may make others smile or chuckle. YOU and those things that drive someone else a little crazy.

YOU and the special gifts and talents that you along have been granted by God.
Yes, that’s right. Special gifts. Given to YOU by God. Only things that YOU are good at.
YOU have a unique and special combination of gifts that no one else has. Only YOU have this.

Why is this important? Because God created YOU to be the way YOU are.

Yes, sometimes we get things wrong. But it’s OK. Because God is already knew where you might stumble and feel challenged.

Now, if you had 30 minutes to do whatever you wanted to do, what would YOU do? What would YOU choose?

Please do this today. Most likely, it’s something related to your giftedness and the things that only YOU can do. Find a little nugget of time where YOU can love doing something just for YOU.
God created YOU this way. God wants YOU to relish and enjoy the things that YOU love to do.

Reward yourself … and do whatever it is today.

For all the AMAZING people God created, I am thankful.

Blessings –
Dianne

Gracious God – May I feel encouraged to commit to a daily gratitude practice. Place it upon my heart how I can use such a practice to connect more deeply to myself, others and You. I pray that focusing on gratitude for the next 30 days will be personally gratifying and uplifting. Amen.
