1 Corinthians 15:10
By the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
Grit gets after it. Grit gets things done. And Christian grit is full of gratefulness.
Titus 3:4-8
When the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people.
Grace inspires us to get to work through “get to,” not “have to.”
Our gratitude should fuel our grititude.
Grititude is grace-filled get-after-it-ness.
Nothing runs like joy.
Joy is not green energy. It has no envy in it. As such, it burns cleaner and gets better gas mileage than jealousy. Jealousy may motivate some, but joy surpasses it every time. Jealousy cannot compete with joy. God’s storehouses contain more than we imagine are in other’s treasuries. In other words, God has given us more than we could ever take from others.
Gratitude is renewable and inexhaustible because its source is the Author of joy.
“When it comes to life, the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude.” — G. K.Chesterton
