How do I say "Thank You" for all that God has done, and all that He will do?
For me personally, it's allowing Him to use me. To trust Him in all things. Even in the things He already knows that I am frightened of.
God doesn't have to come every time I call out to Him, but He always does. He doesn't always change my circumstance, but He certainly changes me. That's because He always shows up in splendor. Something only He can do......
You know what it's like to me? It reminds me of when I was little and something would frighten me. I would yell from my bedroom, or run into my parents room for my mom. Just her presence would sooth me. Then she would talk to me and all my fears were gone. Even when I got older and had those teenage heartaches. All I had to do was talk to mom.
Then there came a time that conversations with mom weren't fully satisfying my shame, fears, and emotions. God wanted to be my all in all. It took me sometime to get that, but I am so glad I did. He walked through every wall I thought was protecting me. He stepped into my past and filled my world with His grace.
You know, He didn't have to come for any of us, but He wanted to. So how do you say thank you to Jesus for the life that He gave, and the cross that He bore? He poured His love out on that cross of suffering to ransom our souls. Romans 5:8, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
So this life that He gave me, I give back to Him. I've come to realize, it's not my life. It's the life He died to give me. It's not even my day, minute, second, or even my own breath. Acts, 17: 28, Because of Jesus, I live and move and have my being. Mark 8: 35, "For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it." Putting all my wants and desires on hold because My Daddy God has the best for me. While I am here, this side of heaven, I will trust Him with my life.
