Today I have reached my 51st day of the challenge of 62 days of #gratitudeday initiated by @tojukaka, and as I have already mentioned, participating in this challenge of 62 continuous days of gratitude has been a great blessing for my life and has helped me to live with optimism faith and joy day by day, and for this purpose I want to share with all of you a reflection on the theme of being grateful.

Being grateful is a way to fulfill God's will in our lives. God wants us to be grateful all the time, in all things. That is the theme of 1 Thessalonians 5:18, where Paul says: "Give thanks in all things, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus." So if we are children of God, believers, obedient to their Word, filled with the Spirit, sanctified, submissive and broken, we have only one thing left to do in obedience to the will of God: to give thanks.

Having a grateful heart, makes us a more humble, simple and honest person before God. it helps us to live with integrity and to discard feelings that are not pleasing before God.

When we are able to recognize how blessed we are from the moment God saw us, He chose us to bring us from a life in darkness to a life of Light, of Hope, of Peace and Eternal Love, definitely, we can not fail to give thanks to the Father for his inexhaustible mercy.
