When you develop a true sense of gratitude, you live in a spirit of glowing expectancy, where all that you experience is framed with a sense of joy and graciousness that is the fullness of God’s light. When you put aside the sense of lack and of the need to have more and more possessions, and when you dwell in the spirit of awe of even the simplest of God’s creations, you have entered into the divine awareness of God-gratitude.

Gratitude is a quality that all would do well to practice. For when you develop a flow of constantly praising God and the universe for every opportunity that life offers to you to grow and to know a greater congruence with spiritual oneness with the All, then you establish an ongoing relationship that continues the outpouring into your life of the beauty and wonder and blessings that occur because you dwell in heightened awareness of life itself all around you.

You may know true gratitude only when you are aligned with your holy purpose and are keenly intent on fulfilling that divine will, come what may. And so the ultimate gratitude is only known when you become who you are, for this is the reason that you are alive and living in this age—to remember who you are.
