Why I Need To Be Thankful To God?

God knows that all of us are so busy taking care for our family, education of our children, go to work daily, studies, and other concerns in life.  We all have 24 hours daily doing many activities but sad to say that we are just giving a very little time to be alone and have some reflections and recollections about ourselves, our goal, resources, strengths, weakness, failures, success, and others.  Some of these are in us and we are experiencing these in different time, place and degree.  Majority are always struggling in money and other related concerns about it, sickness, vices and others.  Let us all pause or stop for a while and evaluate whether we are heading to our goal or target correctly.

All vehicles and machinery need the right fuel to run.   Gasoline engine needs gas and diesel engine needs diesel to run smoothly.  Our minds need also the right information to function effectively.  We need to know the best source of inner strength that comes from the information stored in our minds.  What's in your mind will affect your  behavior, values and actions.  It affects also where you are right now.  What are the reasons why the 1% to 2% of the population  the world of 7.09 billion people in 2014 are seemingly controlling the $106 Trillion economy worldwide? (see world economy - wikipedia.org). Many are the reasons like knowledge, connections, wealth begets wealth principle, greediness, techniques in business and others.

The bible is very clear source of how can all people in the world like you can contribute to the growth of the world economy for the benefit of all the people.  Some people were able to learn immediately the "secrets" but these can't be considered anymore cause the Word of God has opened the answer for this already and what we need to do is to hold this truth as true and is for you and for me too and not only for the minority who controls the world economy now.  We have to know the truth and learn how to apply the truth.  The book of Psalm 139:13-14 says, "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.  I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."  And in Genesis 1:27 says, "God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him male and female he created them".

These two verses in the bible teach us clearly that God has made us all fearfully and wonderfully or perfect.  We are all provided the resources that we need like wisdom, strength, confidence, and others to sustain us to become more productive for ourselves and for others for His glory.  We are all special and precious to God.  We are all complete in Him.  You can not say to yourself that I am weak, can't do it, don't know how to do it, or I am at lost!  Friend, only one thing that distorted all of these beautiful and blissful plan of God for men, and this is sin.  For the thief or Satan came into the world to steal, to kill and to destroy, but Jesus came here on earth to give us life and to have this more abundantly John 10:10.  This is the hindrance why men became defeated, lose his confidence and esteem in life, became lame and ineffective and see success physically as very dim or too far to reach.  Men in all walks of life need Jesus.  We need to be released from the cursed both physical and spiritual.

Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and you will be saved.  The main goal of God is to give you new life here on earth and sure hope in heaven, our eternal permanent home with God and other believers and angels.  God doesn't want that all men will perish in hell but to have eternal life John 3:16.  God has redeemed this chaotic situation of men through Jesus at the cross of Calvary.  He was hanged and died on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins that no one can do except Jesus' once and for all offering of his body on the cross I Peter 2:24.  He destroyed the power of Satan and his forces worldwide and outside the world through his precious blood that was shed on the cross.  The door of salvation has now opened to all who will accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior.  It means, you will say yes that you sinned and should be hang on the cross but because of God's love for you and for me, He sent his only Son Jesus to take our place instead, Jesus took all the penalties and punishment on his body just to save you and me.  What we need to do is to admit that we are sinful and ask for God's forgiveness.  Let us promise that we will no longer be the slave of sin but rather to follow the word of God starting today.  If you will do this decision, the promise of God is true and he is faithful to say like what he said to one of the robbers beside him on the cross like this, "Today you will be with me in Paradise" Luke 23:43.  It means, you will receive God's promise of eternal life and will no longer perish in hell for eternity because you believe in Him.

All of us need a savior and be released from all chaos and negativism, fear, doubts and losing of confidence and hindrances to become more productive in life.  God has freed us from both eternal punishment and is now restoring even the world's ugly condition by the power of the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit through you and me.  Jesus came to restore the broken world and for this reason, the Holy Spirit is now working with all the people who decided to follow Him to restore and bring back the beauty of this world.  That's why, we have to be thankful for the opportunity God gave us through Jesus Christ to share the good news of salvation to all and to become more productive in life for others.  God has gave us the special role to play right now.  Are you willing and ready to change your lifestyle of being defeated always.  We have to be freed from the ugly thoughts in our minds that lead us to defeat.  We can only help ourselves if we will surrender our sins that cause us to become vulnerable to Jesus. Ask for God's forgiveness and He will forgive you and you will have a new and strong outlook in life II Corinthians 5:17.  Even a person has the wealth and intelligence in life if he has no personal relationship with Christ, he can not change the world for the better. Only the God-fearing person/s can make a major change in this rotten world.

The world needs people whose minds are renewed and guided by love and holiness of God.  Now that you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you can say to your self that I am free and can be the Ambassador of bringing the good news of salvation to all and be the channel of restoring the old and evil systems of this world that promote economic burden to many helpless and weak, immorality and materialism mentality to the world which is dominated by love and holiness.  Change in our society and of the world can only happen through the lives of people who decided to follow Christ teaching of love and holiness. Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me".  Let us be thankful to God cause He gave us the new life that is full of meaning and purpose.  So, don't waste this golden opportunity.  Use it now!
