He shows us favor

Friends,

LORD, You have been favorable to Your land;
You have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
You have forgiven the iniquity of Your people;
You have covered all their sin. Selah
Psalm 85:1-2 [NKJV]

Our Lord has taken up residence in the hearts of believers. His "land" (from verse 1 of this passage) is, therefore the heart that beats inside of you and me.

Look back upon the history of your walk with Jesus...

Has He not been favorable to you?
Has He not freed you from the captivity and bondage of sin?
Has He not forgiven our iniquity and covered all of our sin?

Gratitude is not a one-day affair. For what our Lord and Savior has done -- and is doing -- for you and me, our words and songs should be full of praise and thanksgiving every moment of everyday.

Be encouraged, Jose
