Give Thanks in All Things

Gratitude shifts our perspective. It doesn’t mean ignoring hardships, but it means choosing to see God’s goodness even in the middle of them. In all things—not just the good ones—we are called to give thanks.

Paul, who wrote this verse, understood suffering. He was imprisoned, beaten, and persecuted, yet he still gave thanks. Why? Because gratitude keeps our hearts aligned with God, reminds us of His faithfulness, and strengthens our trust in Him.
