Expression of gratitude in time of pain is one of the strongest weapons for victory in life, regardless of the situation.
How do you stay grateful when hurting, disappointed, experiencing a setback whether minor or major? How do you come out singing and dancing when things are not going the way you expect or even when worse things are happening?
The last thing to lose after which there is no remedy or repair is one’s life. As long as you have that life, it is enough reason for gratitude. When we get to heaven and are able to see and know everything, other reasons or times when we could be grateful in life would be revealed.
Ingratitude blinds and prevents people from seeing better opportunities in life? It causes sickness and all manner of depreciation in different areas of life. It equally exposes you to other smaller attacks. Ingratitude can really mess and complicate a person’s life.
Gratitude does not mean a denial of the situation but that you have chosen to approach it differently.
A merry heart, the bible says, does good like medicine. This means your body heals when joy comes from within you. Your health is secured when you possess a heart of gratitude.
The environment responds in favour of a grateful heart. Humans equally support a grateful heart without any direct plea for help.
Learn and sing this song
I still have joy, I still have joy
After all I’ve been through
I still have joy
I still have joy, I still have joy
After all I’ve been through
I still have joy
Finally, what you say in time of trouble determines how long you remain in that situation. Note that your complaining solves nothing. Seeking pity or sympathy does not alleviate your troubles, it only makes you a victim and an entity full of pity.
You don’t belong there, so rise up and begin to sing, dance and celebrate the giver of life and the only one who has the capacity to turn things around.
Rejoice!
