Thank you Jesus

There are so many things I can be thankful for; I don't know where to start.

Thank you Jesus for your blood that washes my sins and makes me righteous.

Thank you for your presence Lord, your sweet fragrance, your overwhelming love.

Better is one day in your courts. I would not trade anything else.

Thank you for the cruise, for the friends and family you have given me.

Thank you for the beautiful personality you have given me, and the uniqueness of who I am. For my gifts and my upbringing and everything else you have blessed me with, including every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms and the heavenly inheritance of being Your daughter forever.

Thank you for each and every person I know, for the opportunity to get to know so many beautiful people so closely. The blessing of living with them and loving them, and experiencing their forgiveness and grace towards me.

Thank you for reminding us to respect each other, to not judge abilities and physical appearances. Thank you for convicting us to not act in our own interests but to also consider the interests of others, to remember Love, even when bargaining.

Thank you for forgiving us when we compare ourselves to others, when our hearts are not filled with Your love, when we forget that you are everything we have, and that your approval alone makes us complete, and that we are made perfect by You.

Thank you for helping us resist temptation, for protecting our minds and hearts.

Thank you for the prayers before meals, for wanting to pray for the group, "I want to pray for us".

Thank you for giving me a job. You know that I am least qualified among my peers.

Thank you for making life a journey, that I never know where I am going, but yet I always know You are leading.

Thank you for holding my hand and leading me, and grabbing tightly when I wander. My heart is prone to wander, but You O Lord are steadfast and faithful. I swing my arms round about me, and I cannot feel you close, but I know you are there because You O Lord are faithful.

Thank you for the testimonies that are so detailed, so intricate, so personal, that no matter how I tell it to others, no one else can truly understand and share the joy.

Thank you for finding my ID and credit card in the bahamas.

Thank you for the job at GlobalFoundries.

Thank you in advance for the next two months at Cornell.

Thank you for life.

Thank you for You. You make all the difference. With You, I have everything.
