Fruit of Gratitude

Gratitude returns love. It is the source of joy. Gratitude brings peace, develops patience and encourages kindness. Gratitude creates goodness and strengthens faithfulness. Gratitude makes a man gentle and it even produces self-control.

You may have noticed that this is the fruit of the Spirit. A spirit-filled man is a grateful man. He knows that all that he possesses, from Jesus Christ to his spouse and children, his home, his car, and his job is all gift. Let us remember this on this Christmas Day and remind ourselves daily about the life altering power of gratitude.
