Gratitude is a beautiful thing. You become grateful when you come to understand that who you are and what you have is not about what you have done, but what has been done for you. You know that the richest things in your life are not there because you are an achiever, but because by grace you are a receiver. Gratitude means you understand that your biggest blessings are gifts of love and not wages that you’ve earned. Gratitude is knowing that your biggest problem, sin, has been dealt with by the sacrificial generosity of another. Gratitude looks up and remembers.
