There is an element of mystery in choosing thankfulness! We give Him thanks, regardless of our feelings, and He gives us joy, regardless of our circumstances. (Jesus Calling)
For those who don't know Jesus intimately it can seem irrational and even impossible to thank Him for heartrending hardships.
Thankfulness opens my heart to His presence and my mind to His thoughts. I may still be in the same place, with the same circumstances, but it's as if a light has been switched on, allowing me to see things from His perspective.
May I always give thanks to the Father for everything, (good and bad) in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ! ~ Ephesians 5:20
