Sometimes, it’s hard to see anything other than what you’re facing in your life at this exact moment. Gratitude is all about changing your perspective. Complainers and grumblers focus on themselves. Complainers and grumblers focus on the moment right in front of them. They lose sight of the larger picture. When we come to Jesus, we call it conversion, meaning that we change. Conversion means replacing old material with new, better material. The old me loved to complain because the old me was all about me. But when I convert to Jesus, my focus changes because it’s not about me — it’s about Jesus. I refocus, and people who are grateful always focus away from themselves. Guys, you’ve got to change the focal point; it’s going to change your attitude. So don’t focus on your circumstances — focus on God, on how God can use those circumstances. The more you feed gratitude, the more gracious you become, and the easier it gets. It’s so good and healthy for you.
