So true!
Notice the word discipline in Mr. Nouwen’s quote above.
In essence, developing an attitude of gratitude is a discipline and it evolves when we are willing to part from the world and live in His love and mercy.
A grateful heart without “want” is a heart God “wants” and will be filled plentifully with what God knows it needs.
P.E.A.C.E.
1 Thessalonians 5:18, “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
