“Who has first given to God, that God should repay him?”

I always thank my God for you because of the grace He has given you in Christ Jesus.

I bow to Jesus in gratitude, and I say, 'Oh Lord, you are great.' It touches me, and it lifts me up because I am hungry for more.

To be a son or daughter of God also means you are royalty. This is the greatest of privileges, but it is also an awesome responsibility. If you are truly thankful to God and want to please Him with all your heart, you must do more than just recognize your own authority. You must use it. He asks you to give love as freely as you have received it— not just to those who deserve it but also to everyone He puts in front of you.

I remember hearing in a talk that the more we express our gratitude to God for our blessings, the more he will bring to our mind other blessings. The more we are aware of to be grateful for, the happier we become.

If anything has been accomplished through my life, it has been solely God's doing, not mine, and He—not I—must get the credit.

I lie in bed at night, after ending my prayers with the words 'Ich danke dir für all das Gute und Liebe und Schöne' (Thank you, God, for all that is good and dear and beautiful)

For our lives are in the Lord's hands; and they can do nothing unto us before God suffer them. Therefore give all thanks to God.

The Christian's life should be one of thankfulness to God.

If we don't take inventory every once in a while and give thanks to God for the great things He has done for us, we get totally out of perspective.

Gratitude is an offering precious in the sight of God, and it is one that the poorest of us can make and be not poorer but richer for having made it.
