I AM GRATEFUL FOR….LOVE OF GOD
\nIn this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.<\/em> 1 John 4:9<\/p>\n

An Attitude of Gratitude Thought & Prayer:
\nDear God,
\nthank You for sending Your Son, Jesus into the world so that I might live through Him.
\nGod I am so grateful that Your love is so great and that You love ME!
\nSometimes I don’t feel or act very lovable, but You still love me.
\nSometimes people may not love me, or I might not even love myself, but You love me.
\nIt is so hard to imagine and understand this love of Yours for me, but I believe it is true because You have said so in Your word. Your word is a love letter written to me and I treasure it.
\nThank You, Father God, for Your wonderful love for me daily.
\nAnd we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.<\/em> 1 John 4:16
\nThe LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.”<\/em> Zephaniah 3:17
