4. Each Day, Tell God Something – or Many Things – that You Love about Him

An interesting thing happens when we praise God: we experience joy. Not only is it fitting that we honor God and praise Him, it actually benefits us. Praising God sweetens our lives and strengthens the intimacy of our relationship with Him. When our hearts are focused on Him, we see His amazing generosity toward us. How astounding is it that the God of the universe would stoop down to love and save us so that we could be with Him forever!

  

Ask God to help you develop the habit of telling Him what you appreciate about Him. From day to day, God will meet your needs. What stands out to you today? Is it His tenderness toward you in a particular situation? His attention to detail or His wild and colorful creativity? Perhaps it’s His ability to intricately weave circumstances together to accomplish His plans. Tell Him the reasons you value Him. You will be blessed as you reflect on Him.
