grateful for Christ

Because of who God is, I always want to be grateful.  When life gets tough, it is hard to be grateful, but we must bear up under the strain of it and find a reason to glorify our King.  I submit that in the midst of all trials there is something for which to praise God, and it is pleasing to do so.  It won’t take away the problem and it might not lessen the pain, but it will allow the thought to enter, if even for a moment, of God’s goodness.  This is comforting and good.  May God be forever praised for His compassion, known for His love, and exalted for everything.
