Meditation
Thanksgiving , praise and serving is a response to the good and gracious gifts God has bestowed upon us. Even His creation makes a joyful noise to the Lord. God is the giver and we simply receive what He gives us, and respond in joyful thanksgiving and praise. Jesus is the ultimate giver and He, Himself is the gift, bringing us forgiveness of sins, eternal life and salvation.
