As I contemplate Thanksgiving this year, I wonder what I’m thankful for. To be completely honest, it is so much easier to see the struggles, and disappointments, and all that has gone wrong, that I sometimes, ok, make that often times, struggle to be thankful. But one thing I am thankful for is a loving, generous God. In spite of my shortcomings, my doubts, my failures, my arguing, and my questions He hasn’t given up on me.

He still talks to me. The Holy Spirit continues to remind me that I am a child of the Most High God. The one and only Sovereign God, who created the universe, and who knit me in my mother’s womb.

The Son, Jesus Christ, paid the price for all of my sins. All of my sins, failures, and shortcomings are covered by the blood. By His blood. And because He paid the price, then rose from the dead, and because I have accepted Christ as Lord and Savior, I know that I have eternal life in Him. I know that even when I screw up, and fail, that I can come to Him, repent, and He’ll pick me up.

God doesn’t give up on His children. And for that I am truly thankful.
