Gratitude is a thankful appreciation for what an individual receives, whether tangible (physical, solid, definite, solid) or intangible. (vague, immaterial, elusive).
Attitude (mindset, feeling, stance, outlook) is a settled way of thinking or feeling about someone or something in a person's behavior. A position (an opinion or a view) can be a positive or negative evaluation of people, objects, events, activities, and ideas. It could be concrete, abstract, or just about anything in your environment, but there is a debate about precise definitions.
"A message from the heart" shall always be my song of PRAISE! That Declaration dates back to 1990 when the Call came; while living in Binghamton, New York. I hesitantly answered that Call in 1997 after our family relocated to Gaithersburg, Maryland. Why am I so confident to make such a Declaration? The Holy Spirit immediately puts me under Holy Ghost arrest as soon as I lock myself into self-pity or a fearful state of mind. As I sense the handcuffs and shackles tightening on my hands and feet, I would simultaneously feel "A message from the heart" of God coming
with a key to unlock the restraints as He reveals TRUTH.
Knowing His voice (Spirit), I acknowledge and would retreat, so I could continue to receive MY message from the heart of God. How comforting and complete are those TRUTH'S that I receive? With significant admission, I didn't always understand every word. However, I did receive every Word in my Spirit. With all my faults, mess-ups, and makeups, I still persevered towards that pull from God. Little did I know that answering The Call would bring so many exciting events in my life. Don't get it twisted; the excitement costs: the good and the bad and all the in-between stuff
that has no category or any claim to fame. Ain't no free lunches!
My heart shouts, "Jesus paid it all, and His price was giving His life for me." I would hear in my Spirit too that I could not do the Will of God with cuffed hands and shackled feet. How bout this – no writing, no mission, and no journal. Such vast spiritual deposits came into my life through both instructions and experiences. I dare not be impotent and non-effective during my time on earth. With a made-up mind, there had to be a point of no more repairing but preparing instead. Which now has resulted in this GRATITUDE JOURNAL. "A message from the heart," being my Declaration in everything I do for the Kingdom, brought on a sense of needing to know how to have a perpetual attitude change. The Holy Spirit dropped it like it's hot on me to initiate a GRATITUDE JOURNAL to guide and assist this transformation giving continual praise to God
in everything.
At the time of this writing, I have been Pastoring for twenty-two years. Those Biblical TRUTH'S held my hands and guided my feet as I ministered to God's people. Being both novice and veteran in the pulpit through the years, the TRUTH'S would balance my unsteadiness while preaching and teaching the revealing revelations in my heart. The flesh of uncertainty, coupled with the heart of a warrior, loved the profound Agape sentiments coming from The Master's heart during all those
years.
