Thanksgiving refers to the aspect of praise that gives thanks to God for what He does for us. Ideally thanksgiving should spring from a grateful heart; but it is required of all believers, regardless of their initial attitude. We should be grateful to God for all things, especially for His work of salvation and sanctification. We ought also to thank God in anticipation of His answering our prayers knowing that His answer will always be in accord with His perfect will for our lives.

Sing the words and tunes of the psalms and hymns when you are together and go on singing and chanting to the Lord in your hearts so that always and everywhere you are giving thanks to God who is our Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. - Eph. 5:19-20; Col. 3:17 -

We have never failed to remember you in our prayers and to give thanks for you to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ ever since we heard about your faith in Christ Jesus and the love that you show towards all the saints because of the hope which is stored up for you in heaven. It is only recently that you heard of this when it was announced in the message of the truth. - Col. 1:3-5 -

We always mention to you in our prayers and thank God for you all and constantly remember before God our Father how you have shown your faith in action, worked for love and persevered through hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

We know, brothers that God loves you and that you have been chosen because when we brought the Good News to you it came to you not only as words but as power, and as the Holy Spirit, and as utter conviction. And you observed the sort of life we lived when we were with you which was for your instruction and you were led to become imitators of us and of the Lord; and it was with the joy of the Holy Spirit that you took to the gospel, in spite of the great opposition all around you. This has made you the great example to all believers in Macedonia and Achaia since it was from you that the word of the Lord started to spread - and not only throughout Macedonia and Achaia for the news of your faith in God has spread everywhere. - 1Thess. 1:2-7 -

Another reason why we constantly thank God for you is that as soon as you heard the message that we brought you as God's message, you accepted it for what it really is, God's message and not some human thinking; and it is still a living power among you who believe it. - 1Thess. 2:13 -

Be happy at all times; pray constantly; and for all things give thanks to God because this is what God expects you to do in Christ Jesus. - 1Thess. 5:18 -

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!

I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.

HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
