Gratitude is faithfulness in view of the past and reality
Trust is faith looking forward
could we view gratitude in the wrong lense? Could we view blessings in the wrong lense? Through the lense of self. WHat I get. If I have a feeling of gratitude in my heart its enough.
What if the purpose of blessing is to generate praise?
God's blessings serve a purpose. Vocalize praise to fulfill their purpose.
How's your thought life (whatever is pure whatever is noble etc)
