Ingratitude Ain't A Good Look On A Christian!

 Pin on Remember...live by.


We All Walk About Saying:
"God Is Good All The Time!"
And
Receive The Expected Response 
"All The Time, God Is Good!"

Question Is, Though
Does The Saying Mean Anything
Or Is It Just Code Talk For:

"I'm Just Trying To Make Myself Sound Like The Crowd
So That No One Suspects That 
I'm Totally Cheezed Off At The Lord
For Not Giving Me That Thing That
I Really, Really, Realllllly Wanted Yesterday!"

And

"I Never Get Anything At All That I Want!
Life's Not Fair!"
"Nobody Loves Me!"

These Dear Ones Forget
Ignore Or Misremember That 
We Get Blessings, Gifts, Benefits
Every Moment
Every Hour
Every Day Of Every Year That
We Have The Breath Of God 
Animating These Jars That We Call Flesh And Bone Bodies 
Compliments Of The Creator We Misuse
Abuse, Disregard, Denigrate, Despise
And
Less-Count! 

Ingratitude Is Not A Good Look On A Human
And 
An Even Worse Look On A Christian! 

Brethren, 

There Is Nothing More Egregious
More Annoying
Or More Aggravating Than 
Having To Deal With An Ingrate
A Person Who Doesn't Ever Say "Thanks For Your Kindness!" 

A Person Who Expects To Always Receive Good Gifts
Gives Nothing In Return
And 
Has The Unmitigated Gall To Be Upset 
Because 
The Gift Received Is Not The Gift That 
The Giver Should Have Known That 
The Ungrateful, Unthankful, Soul Truly Wanted! 

Worst Yet
Is 
The Soul Who Dares To Chastise The Giver 
For "Taking Soooo Long!" To Give Them The Much-Desired Gift! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Dare To Make It A Practice To Be Thankful 
And 
Grateful For All Of Our Blessings
And Then 
For Being Able To Give To And Bless Others 
Out Of Our Blessings
Our Good And Perfect Gifts From Our Father In Heaven
The Almighty God! 

Please Remember That 
Not All Gifts Are Available To Taste, See
Touch Or Feel! 

Let Us This Day 
Give Our Dear Father Grateful Thanks 
And 
Praise 
For Faith, Hope, Truth, Mercy
Grace, Provision And Protection
For Jesus Christ Who Saves
For The Comfort Of The Holy Spirit
For The Protection Of The Holy Angels
For The Deed To The Family Home In Glory
For Our Walk Through This Vale Of Tears
For Our Time In The Crucible For The Perfection Of Holy Character
And 
For The Gift Of Prayer That 
Causes The Recipient To Receive Even As He Is Using It! 



Father, 

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
We Love, Bless, And Thank You
For All You Have Done
Is Doing
And
Shall Do For Us 
Even Right Now:
We Are Telling Everybody
About The Favor That You Show To Us! 

Peace Be Upon Us All!
