CloseCultivating gratitude in the garden of your life requires both divine intervention and deliberate attention. God will do His part. Will you do yours? The weeds of discontent and dissatisfaction that compete with gratitude for space in your life and the emotional and spiritual resources you need for gratitude to thrive need to be pulled up by their roots of self-centered expectations. And the soil of your life, which is your soul, needs to be prepared to produce and sustain gratitude. God removes toxic sin from and infuses life into dead souls through our faith in Christ. And our Lord nourishes living souls as we continually feed on His words for spiritual nutrients. Living souls are prepared for us to plant the seeds of gratitude.

A message from the series “Colossians.” What’s your starting point when it comes to Christ-honoring dynamics in the home and family unit? Do you start with written agreements, rules, or do you just go with the flow? It’s likely that our initial instruction in family life started with our families of origin…for better or for worse. How does your relationship with Christ affect your relationships within family? Our previous messages from Colossians 3:1-17 called for Colossians those who have “taken off our old self with its practices and have taken on the new self, renewed in the knowledge of our Creator…to live in perfect unity”(vs.9, 10, 14). It really comes down to this: Christ-followers find joy and peace in Spirit-filled submission.“Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ” (Ephesians 5:21)
