“Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Ephesians 5:20)
Paul list giving thanks among the things the Saints in Ephesus
are to do to keep the Spirit with them. I like where he says, “Awake thou that
sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.”
(Ephesians 5:14) I was once asleep in
the gospel. Some days I snooze a bit, but I have awakened again. That is the
important part. For that I give thanks for the dear sister in the gospel who knew
to call me in my darkest hour. I give thanks for the many others who have
helped me on my way, taught me by example and filled my cup of gratitude to
overflowing. Especially I am thankful for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who
made repentance and redemption possible by his atonement.
