Gratitude can be a lifestyle choice, an intentional worldview that will transform us and others. Maybe enough of us, living in gratitude, could transform the world and bring a little more Kingdom of God into the present. So much of our lives is caught up in distractions rather than the true essence of life and living. If you could distill the essence of life for you into its purest form, what would you have given up and what would you be doing? How would your life be different if you were grateful 95% of the time, rather than the amount of time and energy gratitude gets now?

Scripture: 

Philippians 1:3-11; Philippians 4:4-7
