Today, My children, I want you to sit and have a conversation with Me. I want to sit and talk with you today, but not about the bad things and your circumstances. I want to bring your attention to all the good things that have been going on in your lives and to the works that I have been doing in you and through you.
The enemy likes to keep you focused on all the bad things and your circumstances. But today, I want you to put them away and just focus on the blessings and gifts that you have received from Me. I want to encourage you and strengthen you this day. I want you to see the things that you have already overcome, and how I was right beside you the whole time helping you to get through the things that you have had to endure.
I desire for you to come and talk with Me. Allow Me to show you just how much you have become strengthened in Me. Let Me show you how truly blessed you really are. Come and talk to Me about how the works that I have been doing with you makes you feel. Come and talk with Me and tell Me what your expectations are with what I am doing with you and through you. And then allow Me to show you what My expectations and intentions are. These secrets may just surprise you.
Come and enjoy your conversation with Me. It is time to allow the thankfulness to come forth. For the gratitude in your heart will allow Me to do things further with you. It will allow Me to bring you deeper and higher with Me. I desire to hear your praises of thanksgiving and gratefulness of all that has been done. I desire to hear the words of acknowledgement of the works that have already been done and the gifts that have already been received.
You will find as you come to Me and talk with Me about these things that have been coming forth and truly blessing you and acknowledging the gifts that I have been giving you, it will become more real into your life. Your gifts will start to increase its worth because you will begin to realize that they are there. The bad things will no longer seem so bad. Today will not seem so hard to bare no matter what comes your way because you will now realize that I am always right here to help you and the enemy cannot keep plaguing you with focusing on all the bad things.
Today, I want you to give the enemy a black eye by giving praises and singing of thanksgiving to Me for all the good things that have happened. I want you to allow this thanksgiving to overflow and to be shown to those around you. I want this thanksgiving of the heart to glow and become a sweet sound coming out of your lips to My ears. Turn your thanksgiving into a song of praise to Me.
It is time today to see all the things that have been done and given to you. It is time to focus on the good things and to stop allowing the enemy to consume you with all the bad for this is how he weakens you.
Come and talk with Me. Allow Me to show you and bring to your attention the things that have been done. Allow a grateful and thankful attitude begin to grow and blossom inside of you today. Allow the praises to come forth. Give Me glory and honor this day in acknowledging the things that I have done. And as you do this I will be able to increase the things that I want to do for, through, and with you.
Psalms 103:1-5
1 Praise the Lord, my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the Lord, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
3 who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
5 who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Psalms 105:1-5

tell of all his wonderful acts.
3 Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
4 Look to the Lord and his strength;
seek his face always.
5 Remember the wonders he has done,
his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,

Colossians 3:15-17
15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
