GRATITUDE: Recollection of goodness received… Appreciative remembrance… Recollection of goodness received… Sensitive awareness of grace…

Complaining grows out of shortsightedness and forgetfulness. “Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain” Philippians 2:14-16

Complaining grows out of shortsightedness and forgetfulness “And above all things have fervent love for one another, for love will cover a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.” 1 Peter 4:8-9

Complaining grows out of shortsightedness and forgetfulness Israel complained against the Lord. Exodus 14:11-12 Exodus 15:24 Failure to remember God’s goodness and be aware of His grace.

Gratitude grows when we keep on remembering the proper things Paul’s remembrance of sin and grace overflowed in gratitude (1 Tim. 1:12-17). Gratitude does not live in the past, but it does remember so as to motivate spiritual pursuits (Phil. 3:12-14).

Gratitude grows when we keep on remembering the proper things Appreciative remembrance focuses on what a person has; grateful awareness dwells on what has been received. Even when circumstances change, a mindset of gratitude keeps on rejoicing.

Gratitude grows when we keep on remembering the proper things Riches of God’s goodness, forbearance and longsuffering (Rom. 2:4) God’s great love, rich mercy and surpassing grace (Eph. 2:4, 7)
