When thank You seems to be the hardest word


When I got off the bus, I always say "thank you" to the bus driver. That's my way of always be thankful of the smallest thing. No matter how sleepy or tired I am, I manage to maintain my goodwill of saying "thank you". But one day, I was so pissed off that I was thinking how could the bus driver deserve my "thank you" when I was in such a bad circumtances.

Have you ever felt like i felt? So pissed off 'til the thought of noone deserve my "thank you" overwhelmed me?

The Bible says to “give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

How should i thank You for something that makes me unhappy? One thing for sure, God is magnificent. He purposedly said, in all circumtances not for all circumtances... He did not ask us to be thankful for the things that makes us unhappy (even though we can if we want..) instead He told us to be thankful in any situations.

Now, what should we be thankful for then in that tough circumtances? How 'bout this..

I thank You for Your unchanged love that would remain true no matter
what kind of struggle I currently have.
