Thankfulness & Confession: The Way to an Overflowing Heart

“Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of
God!” (Rom. 11:33).

Our heavenly Father has given us unfathomable blessings,
but we often fail to live as if they are truly ours. In thankfulness
and Confession, Brad Scheelke encourages readers to meditate
on and rejoice in the glorious riches of our inheritance in
Christ. As we regularly give thanks for what God has given us,
our thoughts and actions will begin to change . . . often in
surprising ways.

Gratitude also changes how we deal with sin. When we
confess our sin, bringing it into the light of Christ’s riches, we
now see not only the darkness of our own evil, but also the
beauty of God’s holiness and grace.

When we learn to practice thankfulness and confession in
this way, our hearts will overflow in joy, in love for one another,
and in glory to God.
