Give From a Grateful Heart
The abundance and prosperity you receive in life is meant to prosper you and for you to give back to others. A life full of gratitude, includes being intentionally in how you give back of your time and resources. Hoarding your resources does not guarantee you will always have abundance. However, the more you give, you will receive in life. This goes beyond monetary gain and includes how you treat people. When you are a person with a grateful heart, you ensure others around you feel joy and happiness. You do not drain or always have the expectation to receive without giving something back in return. This is also how you maintain healthy relationships because you will attract other individuals who also have a grateful and giving heart. Gratitude goes beyond words, but is a heart posture in how you operate in your everyday life. People who are grateful display a level of appreciation towards others for who they are and their acts of service. No one is taken for granted or feels looked over when you operate from a heart posture of gratitude. This holiday season set your intentions to be grateful and your life will display a level of joy, which is also a reflection of GOD’s love.
