Grateful People

I just recently watched a leadership conference session online from NewSpring church in South Carolina and it was Steven Furticks’ session on gratefulness that really messed me up for the better. There is one particular point that Pastor Steven raised up that has really shaken me and it goes as follows: “Grateful people can find a blessing, enlarge a blessing or create a blessing in almost any situation. But on the other hand, negative people can find a burden, enlarge a burden or create a burden in almost any situation.”

The Lord has been challenging me with this. I have had to ask myself, am I the kind of person that sees the bad in almost everything or everyone or am I able to find, enlarge or create a blessing in almost situation? What kind of person are you?

Seasons

Let me just start by saying how much i do not appreciate the heat. I am a winter guy and i LOVE my snow. I wish i could move in with my aunt that it a nurse up in Nunavut. If i could, i think i would! I would LOVE for the earth to be in winter mode forever.

Same thing happens so many times in Christianity. People find them self in a season that they really like and complain when the season changes.

We must keep in mind that without season change a few things will happen:

- You will get too comfortable where you are.

- If there is no season change, nothing will grow.

- You will loose respect and greatfulness towards the season you are curently in if you stay there.

Remember when you are all sweaty and have sunburn to thank God for the season you are curently in but also thank him for the next season that is to come!
