Bright
Pink flowers,
A
Gray, Dreary Sky.
A
White Polka Dot Pattern,
And
Birds learning to fly.
How
do these things go together?
They
are all things I can see.
I
will choose to praise God in all things—
Won’t
you join me?
Today,
we have a choice—
To
give thanks regardless of what we must do or what the sky looks like,
Or
to simply complain and be negative
Or
even just go about the day not even noticing everything that we have that we
can give thanks for.
Oh,
let us not even let a gray and dreary sky keep us from praising our glorious
and awesome God!
There
is so much darkness in this world.
Don’t
give up!
We
know the One who has won the war!
One
day, He will return and one day everyone will proclaim that Jesus is Lord, because
all will see the truth.
Oh,
look forward to that day!
And
use today wisely.
May
He not come to find us being lazy and unfaithful to Him.
May
our love for our Lord and Savior be our first love—may it be HOT—not cold and
definitely not lukewarm.
May
our garments be washed clean,
And
when He comes back, may He find us eagerly awaiting His return and ready.
We
don’t know when.
We
just know that we are told to be ready.
So
what is my cup of SonShine today?
To
give thanks at all times in even the most seemingly dull duty.
Why? Because I want to do everything for Jesus—because
I love Him and I want Him to be pleased with me.
How
can I do this? By giving thanks to Him
in everything I do, and by doing everything by the power of His Holy Spirit at
work within me.
It
is all by His grace that I can do anything of eternal value—nothing of my own.
“Praise
You, Heavenly Father!
Thank
You so much for Your Love.
Awaken
Your church!
May
we be found ready and fully devoted to You in every way when You return.
I
love You, Dear Lord!
Use
me today for Your glory, and help me overcome every ugly weakness in my selfish
and fleshly nature by the power of your grace.
I
am weak, but your grace is sufficient for me.
You
are always enough!
Praise
You, Dear Lord!
Praise
You, Lord Jesus!
In
Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.”
