When we are grateful our mind focuses on GOD.

Colossians 1:9-22

9For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that you might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

10That you might walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

11Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

12Giving thanks unto the Father, who has made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

13Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

14In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

15The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the pre-eminence. 19For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 20And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

21And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight

GOD has qualified every single believer into His inheritance. He transformed us made us fit for Kingdom of GOD.

We were created for GOD. LORD Jesus Christ living inside of us. LORD Jesus Christ has the first place in my life.

We are thankful for so many things, for Him for the cross.

LORD Jesus brought us into oneness relationship with GOD. We are sons and daughters of living GOD. We are redeemed and transformed to becoming man and woman full of LORD Jesus Christ, filled with the Holy Spirit for the purpose, meaning and direction. And our destiny is eternally related to GOD the Father and all He has done for us.

We have just yielded and responded to reconciliation. We are holy, blameless and beyond reproach. GOD the Father is looking at the eternal transformation on the cross. When He qualified us for the Kingdom, forgiveness and cleansing and redemption was ours forever and ever. He has redeemed you when you were alienated. He has clothed you with righteousness in His blood. You have been accepted by the blood of LORD Jesus Christ. He made you one with the Father.

John 3:16

16For God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
