Being grateful

Gratitude is a feeling that has been lacking in people lately. We are not grateful, and we are not used to being grateful for what we have; everything is owed to us, and we are what we are, only thanks to ourselves.

This lack of gratitude leads to a perennial dissatisfaction and creates insurmountable walls, deteriorating human relationships and embittering hearts. Joy becomes more and more fleeting and is linked to the brief moment in which we obtain something or achieve a result. It immediately vanishes because we are unable to truly enjoy what we have received, but we immediately seek something else.

Undoubtedly, if you do not possess the Grace of God, your heart can never be truly satisfied. Just as the wine of this world does not give true joy, the things of the world do not give true satisfaction.

This is why the Word encourages us to have a grateful heart to be happy in whatever situation we live. Paul says that he has learned to be content with his state and to be able to face any problem with the awareness of being able to do all things in Christ, who strengthens those who believe in Him. When we realize this truth, we enter into the perspective of faith, by which we must not be anxious but seek the kingdom and righteousness of God, certain that everything else will be added by our Father, who is in heaven.
