Grace and Gratitude Like Black-Eyed Peas
Gratitude doesn’t measure abundance; it evidences grace. It wells up within us, becoming that fountain of living water Jesus promised—springing up to eternal life. Gratitude signals that Jesus remains Lord of our ambitions, fears, past, present, and future. And with Him, all things are possible. Without Him? Nothing is ever enough.
