📖 Daily Bible Quote:

“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
1 Thessalonians 5:18

💭 Reflection:

Gratitude in hard times isn’t denial—it’s defiance against despair. Paul doesn’t say to give thanks for every circumstance, but in every circumstance. That’s a big difference. We’re not called to be thankful because life is painful, but despite it. Gratitude becomes a spiritual weapon, reminding us that God is still good, still present, still working.

When all you can do is whisper, “Thank You for being here,” that’s enough. Gratitude shifts the lens through which we view suffering—it brings hope into the hardship. Don’t wait for perfect conditions to be grateful. Start now.
