I am not going to wait until the pain in my body disappears; I am thanking you right now.
I am not going to wait until my financial situation improves; I am going to thank you right now.
I am not going to wait until the children are asleep and the house is quiet; I am going to thank you right now.
I am not going to wait until I get promoted at work or until I get the job; I am going to thank you right now.
I am not going to wait until I understand every experience in my life that has
caused me pain or grief; I am going to thank you right now.
I am not going to wait until the journey gets easier or the challenges are removed; I am thanking you right now.
I am thanking you because I am alive.

I'm thanking you because
FATHER, YOU haven't given up on me. AMEN
God is just so good, and He's good all the time.
This morning I knocked at Heavens door, God asked me... My CHILD... what can I do for you?' and I said 'Daddy please protect and bless the one reading this message.' God smiled and answered.... 'Request granted.'
This message is now in your
hands.
What will YOU do with it?
