To show my gratitude

When I
was worshiping the Lord this morning, one song particularly spoke to me:

What
can I say or do to show my gratitude?

What
can I give in turn for what I cannot earn?

A
broken and contrite heart You will not despise

A
humble and upright life catches Your eye

I
will bring nothing less than everything

I
will sing songs that bless Your name

All
my heart, all my soul, all my mind, all my strength

I
will bring nothing less

Nothing Less, Terry Kelley Band on Valid Noise

Someone
hurt me very deeply yesterday, and I ached over it all day long. Usually, with
the Lord’s help, I can get over offenses, forgive the person, and go on with my
day. But yesterday, it was tough to do. When I was singing this morning, “What
can I say or do to show my gratitude?” the Lord answered, “Forgive __________
and let go of the offense.” That is how we show our gratitude for all He has
done for us, by loving those who do not love us, by turning the other cheek,
going the extra mile, giving our shirt as well. By washing feet. By forgiving
70 x 7. By obeying Him in all things.
