Gratitude First: It Brings About Joy

“I choose joyful gratitude. I choose quiet strength. I choose beauty. I choose forgiveness. I choose love.”

You can find this author-unknown quote all over artwork, and I understand why—it’s a call to our souls. It reminds us that it is our heart we need to keep in check. What does our heart choose? For there we will follow.

Where do we hope to go with all our heart? Why do we want what we want with all our heart? How do we decide what to reach for when dreaming with all our heart?

We have free will, and we can easily get way off course. Our best hope is to keep our heart in check by placing our hope in all things good: joyful gratitude, quiet strength, beauty, forgiveness, and love.

Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be. Matthew 6:21

Trust in this comforting verse. Just think what will come of a heart of joyful gratitude, quiet strength, beauty, forgiveness, and love.

Faith Infused Living… Reaching Goals Higher!
