Five Minute Friday: Thank You

Thank You

Yesterday’s prompt for the One Thousand Gifts Joy Dare was “A Gift Grateful”. Several things rushed to my mind – I’m grateful for God’s grace, family, friends, provision, protection, health… But I had to pick just ONE thing. As I racked my brain, it suddenly clicked. I knew the ONE thing I was most thankful for – it was simply knowing Jesus.

So often I take my relationship with God for granted, not realizing that millions around the world still do not know Jesus. I’ve had the privilege of knowing Him personally and experiencing His presence in my day to day life.

I remember all that Jesus has rescued me from and my heart leaps. So, this is just me saying, “Thank You, Jesus”.

I was lost, You found me.
I was alone, You stood by me.
I was struggling, You helped me.
I was drowning in sin, You lifted me up.

I was confused, You gave me peace.
I was broken, You made me whole.
I was hurt, You comforted me.
I rebelled, You patiently led me back.

I was anxious, You gave me Your Word.
I was selfish, You opened my eyes to a love that gives more than it gets.
I wanted to have my own way, You taught me to seek Yours.
I was dead spiritually, You brought me back to life.

I would have died and gone to hell; Your sacrifice on the cross bought me life and a place in heaven.

For all this and so much more… Thank You, Lord.

If you had to pick just ONE thing you are thankful for, which would you choose?
