: As the author of this devotional so well puts it, "The church often focuses on claiming promises from God instead of being grateful for the blessings they have already received," "God's people need challenges, goals, and visions that come from the heart of God" The greatest challenge that the Church has at the moment is the evangelization of a world that we see daily behaving in the wrong way. In the book of Acts 1:8, Jesus established what the main mission of the Church is.

Thanksgiving and obedience are fundamental pillars in the Christian life, as Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas reminds us in his devotional. In Philippians 2:14 we are exhorted to do all things without murmuring or arguing, which invites us to focus on fulfilling the mission that God has given us. Just like in Acts 1:8, where Jesus urges us to be his witnesses to the ends of the earth. May we live in constant thanksgiving and commitment to the mission God has given us!
Clara: Very good message. Be grateful for much or little. But be very grateful
Clara, thank you for your comment. Indeed, gratitude towards God is fundamental in our Christian life, both for the great blessings and the small ones. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, thanksgiving helps us focus on the majesty of God and value everything He has given us. Let us always remember to be grateful to our Lord, in every circumstance and for every blessing. May gratitude be a constant feature in our lives!

: Who among us who have been invited to a dinner does not thank the host? Or that they have helped us out of a bind, don't we thank the benefactor for his management? All the more and with much more reason we must thank God for all the blessings received, which are many and at all times.- Thank you Lord for giving us what we have.

As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, thanksgiving helps us recognize the hand of God in our lives and value His goodness. May we continue to cultivate a grateful spirit at all times, recognizing that everything we have comes from Him. God bless your grateful heart, Francisco!
