High,When seeing this verse what comes to mind is, people say words are stronger than actions, but in this case it isn't all that true. You can say you love God and are so thankful of him. But do you ever take the time to show it? Well one of the greatest ways to show your thankfulness is making a sacrifice. I am not saying you need to go kill an animal. What I am saying is maybe giving things up. Right now you're probably thinking how am I supposed to be thankful if I am giving things up. When I said give things up I mean for example, you're so popular and everyone adores you but your "fans" only like non Christians, one day they ask you if you you're a christian, your choices are to tell them you truly love God and most likely lose all your popularity, or dishonor God and tell them no. Think about it for a minute, What would you do? This may be a hard thing to do, but Got rewards you when your faithful to him, maybe if you admitted you're a christian, all your friends will think, hey she/he's cool, she/he is so popular, and she/he loves God maybe if I want to be more like her/him I should rethink my bad thoughts about God.
So you get my point about sacrificing things to show God your thankfulness right?
Picture of the day:
This is a good point. It's good to be willing to give things up for God, especially if we value Him more than ourselves.
