How often do you pause and list the things in your life you’re most grateful for? For many of us, the answer is not enough! So, what’s the big deal about gratitude?

“It is the will of God for you to be grateful because it is the heart of God that you be JOY-FULL. Joy is the fruit of gratitude. Without the seed of gratitude, there is no fruit of Joy.” – Leadershipology.com

When you are grateful, you will experience Wins!  Here are the “When-Wins of Gratitude.”

When you are grateful, your life will become JOY-FULL.

True Joy is an intrinsic quality birthed by Love. It is a fruit of the spirit and is the precursor of Peace. It is evidenced by a confident assurance that is only found in God. It is the axis on which genuine happiness turns. In fact, genuine happiness is the by-product of True Joy. It is not contingent upon outward circumstances. It increases and gets stronger through adversity because a Spirit of Joy is fueled by gratitude and is NEVER governed by loss. That is why Joy is the Supernatural remedy for any great tragedy. When you make the decision to have joy in your life, it becomes God’s pleasure to make that miracle happen. He gets joy out of giving you what you want when you are JOY-FULL.

When you are grateful, you magnetically draw miracles to your life.

Gratitude is like a magnet because whatever you are grateful for, you place value on. Your values are what matter most to you. As you align your life with your values, whatever you draw close to, automatically draws close to you. When you express Gratitude for someone, it makes them feel appreciated. When people feel appreciated they want to be around you.

When you are Grateful for money, you won’t waste money. Because you don’t waste money, you begin to think what the best and highest use of your money is. It is not the money that attracts what you want, it is what you value. When you are Grateful for a beautiful day, you will never take a day for granted. In the process you will discover, ‘This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.’ You will find your days will bring joy into your life, because when you are Grateful, each day becomes a gift from God. When you are Grateful for your life, you learn to cherish every moment and not waste time.

What are you Grateful for today? Make it good, because When you are grateful, you Win by attracting the good you are Grateful for!
