Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional 24 January 2022 MESSAGE

It is good to have a love for God in your heart, but even better to express it with the words of your mouth. Tell God several times each day that you love Him; say with the psalmist David: ” I love You fervently and devotedly, O Lord my strength” (Ps. 18:1). it isn’t good enough to merely think, “God knows how I feel.” Are you blessed when people tell you they love and appreciate you?

Of course, you are, and it blesses God when we verbalize our love and praise for Him. verbal expression of love and gratitude improves all our relationships, including our rela­tionship with God. Don’t offer your petitions to God without telling Him how grateful you are for what He has already done for you. As parents, we are more likely to answer the request of a thankful child than we are a grouchy and ungrateful one.

As an employer, I want to do even more for employ­ees who are appreciative. Offering our continual gratitude to God for His goodness and mercy in our lives moves Him to want to do even more for us. Our gratitude shows God that we are mature enough to handle even more blessing and responsibility. Women often say, “I know my husband loves me, but I wish he would tell me more often.” Let’s try to be more diligent in telling God and the people in our lives that we love and appreciate them and what they mean to us.

Prayer Starter: Lord, I thank You and praise You for all the wonderful things you have done for me and are doing right now. I love You and I’m so grateful for You. In Jesus’ name, amen!
