GRATITUDE!

Dear Friends,

Often people will ask me, “How are you doing?” My answer is usually, “Great!” or “I am blessed.” And I do genuinely feel blessed. But this morning I was up at six o’clock to attend “Influencers.” This is group of men meeting at a church near me every Thursday morning. We started with a time of worship. One of the songs, which I had never heard before, was titled “Gratitude” by Brandon Lake. As I listened to the song and followed along with the words it struck me that this was a way for me to express back to Him my gratitude for how He was worked in my life. It starts with:

GRATITUDE
by Brandon Lake

All my words fall short
I got nothing new
How could I express
All my gratitude?

I could sing these songs
As I often do
But every song must end
And You never do

So I throw up my hands
And praise You again and again
‘Cause all that I have is a hallelujah
Hallelujah

And I know it’s not much
But I’ve nothing else fit for a King
Except for a heart singing hallelujah
Hallelujah

What a powerful way to express back to Him my gratitude for what He has done and what I know He will continue to do in my life.

Gratitude for a healthy body and mind that has allowed me to write books and to travel all over the world with the message of God’s healing power.

Gratitude for my family and how He has protected, covered and provided for them.

Gratitude for the men that He brought into my life that mentored me. Men like Dr. John Lavender and Francis MacNutt.

Gratitude that God has allowed me to mentor many young men over the years that have grown and are themselves mentoring others.

Gratitude for those of you that have diligently prayed for me and Wholeness Ministries.

Gratitude for those who have faithfully supported this work with your generous giving which has met all of our needs and who without your faithful support we would not have been able to operate.

Gratitude that He has reserved a place for me in eternity that will be so far beyond anything I can even imagine.

I could go on and on and I know that in the coming years there will continue to be many other things that will spark an attitude of gratitude.

The song ends with these words:

So I throw up my hands
And praise You again and again
‘Cause all that I have is a hallelujah
Hallelujah

And I know it’s not much
But I’ve nothing else fit for a King
Except for a heart singing hallelujah
Hallelujah

I trust this will likewise inspire you to express your gratitude to Him for what He has done in your life. Thank you for your prayers and faithful support.
