The theme of my book, “Pour Out Your Heart” is about learning to give Jesus the negative emotions in our heart… letting go….making room for healing….and a refilling of His love, peace, and joy. Today is Thanksgiving, the official holiday we set aside to give thanks and praise to God ! So what is in your heart today? Maybe you are struggling with all the negativity that permeates our world, or struggling in your personal life and not feeling the “thanksgiving” at all? Well, if so, we can look at Psalm 50:14-15, “Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and pay your vows to the Most High. And call on Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall honor and glorify Me.” When we offer thanksgiving, in spite of what we are feeling, this is a sacrifice accepted by God, and He promises to deliver us from the negative we are experiencing. On the other hand, you may be feeling positive in your faith and thankful today. If so, we can look at Psalm 9:1-2, “I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will show forth (recount and tell aloud) all your marvelous works and wonderful deeds! I will rejoice in You and be in high spirits; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High! So today, whatever is in your heart – choose to praise and give thanks to Him on this Thanksgiving Day!
